the taste of flesh

Is flesh Tough,
Rubbery,
Grimy,
Mucky?

I couldn't imagine
Biting
Ripping,
Tearing,
Letting the victim bleed out.

My gums bleed
When consuming apples,
When consuming noodles,
When consuming steak.
I could never imagine eating a person.

But you must,
Because I know the feeling
Of your canines sinking in,
Of your drool saturating my skin,
Of your head jerking a piece of me off.
All too well.
