Milky delights of sight and sound
sucked from a monster’s breasts
ever-stories fed through the air
into our brains via eyes and ears
remainder of body locked in stasis
distilling belief until we cry out, “Stop!”
or we are satiated with the fictions
and rise up, undoing the shrouds,
to look for meaning elsewhere.
The monster waits, silenced and dark,
until hunger drives us back to her lair.
