Consumptive Language d'Oliver Loveday

Consumptive Language

 

This is the language of the carnivores

This is the language of the carnival of consumption

There are no lights or beauty in this language

Everyone who talks this language is saturated with death

This language of the consumption of dead objects

This is the language of gallows and cemeteries

There are no bird songs or children singing in this language

Everyone who talks this language resides in darkness

This is the language of blood and shattered bones

This is the language of crimson clover and posthumous heroes

There are no dreams or dreaming with this language

The only dancing allowed is to the sound of the dirge

This is the language of the carnivores

This is the language of evasive memory

This is the language we use to count the dead

This is the language we use to recount the slain
