why shouldn’t we be like the gods and eat of the fruit of sacrifice?

why can't I tasted deservedness
    bright yellow palms of fruit
    gratification in their shiny wax
    real sugar really grasped
in palms of my own

these fingers, false
    in hunger's haste or else
    giants' footsteps brooding

no meat however fat
    nor idea in heaven's dew
    technique torn between
man, dilemma in two

a becoming of bread
    a coward's cracking
    pulled for parts
    for fruit of labor
for lacking
