Every weakness was subverted
and when I looked in the mirror
I saw my face
eating the rings
of multiple things that absolutely
most definitely
without a doubt
were not made of onion,
I swallowed a pint of blood
and a gallon of pride
which primed a primal sense
and allowed my blood to reach heat,
Ill eat a thousand more
if it means you’ll see me again
just make sure
you bring the rings, Darling
