Cocktail Sauce
Eat my heart out
with a shrimp fork
it's tiny like that,
I must warn you though
once you cut through the
rough exterior,
you will have to feel around
and really look because it
hides in the darkness,
(okay maybe it doesn't hide
but it definitely lurks)
you wont feel it beating
it does not need to,
I'm kind of like
the veal of the heart world,
from the moment it was born
I ripped it away from myself
locking it in a small cage
never letting the love touch it,
it's going to be tender at first
but that's where the similarities end
and perhaps where the real ugliness starts.

the metaphors of "heart" & heart are probably the deepest,
longest running,
allusions
wee tap into....stimulating illusions, which when we add 'belief' to'em become painful, volatile delusion, keeping the fires of our selfmade hells aglow.....
butt on the equally delusional Bright Side, a fine write on the topic of crustacean cuisine

sauce is everything isn't it? even if it doesn't flow as fluently through the ugliness it stems from.
