you want to eat me

你想要把我剥出来吃了，

out. right. what does it taste like

来啊。你觉得把我从这身牛仔服里

you want to eat me right out

剥出来，当成一些更便宜点，更好咬，

of these jeans & into something

更好消化的东西吃掉，

a little cheaper. more digestible.

会是什么味道？

more bite-sized. more thank you

如果这样我求之不得：

come: i am greasy

对你来说我太腻了。每天早上

for you. i slick my hair with msg

我用味精滑润头发。我是坏东西。

every morning. i’m bad for you.

我在你的牙齿间弄出了一些红灯区。

got some red-light district between

它的味道就像我双腿间的外卖盒：

your teeth. what does it

我就是塑料袋女郎。对付我的方式，

taste like: a takeout box

就是用廉价的白叉子劈成两半。

between my legs.

plastic bag lady. flimsy white fork

味道就像干鱿鱼。嘴唇在盐中肿起。

to snap in half. dispose of me.

嘴唇充溢着异物，于是叫我

“猪肉”。卷着尾巴在泥里乱滚的

taste like dried squid. lips puffy

下流玩意儿。脏肉。你肠子里的肉虫。

with salt. lips brimming

with foreign so call me

让你生病。死肉。被屠夫剁碎的女孩，

pork. curly-tailed obscenity

包在泡沫塑料里。你这个毫不隐瞒的食人族。

been playing in the mud. dirty meat.

你想要我缩到适合咀嚼的尺寸，

worms in your stomach. give you

没有卡住你喉咙的眼珠。

但是我一直在屠宰场看得清楚。

a fever. dead meat. butchered girl

从你把我列为“可吃”一类的那天起。

chopped up & cradled

最终你把我扔给了一个厨子。幸运的男人。

in styrofoam. you candid cannibal.

走一趟拿走你的东西，说自己是“考古学家”。

you want me bite-sized

no eyes clogging your throat.

但是仔细听着，

听你牙缝里的吱嘎声，

but i’ve been watching

听我在你臼齿间母猪一样的尖叫。

from the slaughterhouse. ever since

看那食盐觉醒，

you named me edible. tossed in

扭痛你的神经。

a cookie at the end. lucky man.

看我鲤鱼打挺重新活过来。

go & take what’s yours.

看我的触手和牙齿。看我

name yourself archaeologist but

复生的电力。

listen carefully

这些尝起来像：

to the squelches in

复仇

your teeth & hear my sow squeal

在你齿间活跃地蠕动，

scream murder between

从内到外，

molars. watch salt awaken

安静地绞死你。

writhe, synapse.

watch me kick

back to life. watch me tentacles

& teeth. watch me

resurrected electric.

what does it

taste like: revenge

squirming alive in your mouth

strangling you quiet

from the inside out.
