Menu by Hannah Myers

A large tree in the middle of green woodland. Large white text reads: Menu. Smaller text reads: Discussing disabled characters in fairy tales and folklore.

i imagine you as a morsel
while i place you inside my needy mouth
tasting you before I submerge you…
tasting you before i hand your delicate scallop like flesh
 
over to my violent tongue
as it swirls you around and around
like a merry-go-round in the front of my mouth
thrashing you so wildly
 
that your skin starts to tear and flake off,
falling upon my curious gums,
like autumn debris
brushing against my velvet cheeks.
 
my molars grind you into a flattened flesh
diluting you with saliva
so that you can slide easily down
the dark pit of hell where you truly belong
