iii. Catherynne M. Valente The Bread We Eat in Dreams [ "I said: I could be a wolf for you. I could put my teeth on your throat. I could growl. I could eat you whole. I could wait for you in the dark. I could howl against your hair. ]

On Fridays the little children come

To trade their hooks for hands.

Dead men leave eyes for others.

Love is the uniform of my bald nurse.

The month of flowering's finished. The fruit's in, Eaten or rotten. I am all mouth. October's the month for storage.

The sliding beads asunder, so I thrust Each tasteless particle aside, and just Begin again the task which never stays.
