leviathan

God made them with their mouths open,
no milk teeth; loosed them on the teeming world
and said Do not eat to the wrong children,
the one whose bones snapped like dry grass,
whose blood tasted of the sea. So they ate
of the flesh, drank the blood, and had eternal life.
And when they turned back to their Father and smiled,
with all those teeth he gave
to fill their open mouths—

God cursed them for being hungry.
