Quench

I eat your flesh
drink your blood
and I'll do it again tomorrow
because you give it to me freely
graciously
blessed
adorned


that I may be forgiven
when I kill other people.
You're always here
for me to eat
drink
read
befriend
love
wholeheartedly

through fixing my voice
with your flavor
as yeast
and wine.

I will kill more today
but I will eat your flesh again
drink your blood again
and stain your eternal robe.

Another awesome piece of writing, Will! Your stuff always inspires me to want to write creatively more often.
