each creature has a treasure
some give
all take

weak creatures crowd around

she promises
again

"tomorrow"
"tomorrow"

she takes and she feeds
giving in take

the gorged creatures
slyly
circle
low to the floor
muscles clench

she pities
throws to those
with nothing to give

caught
midair

the gorged
favorite gives
her treasure

she curls into
pillow
soft

she dreams
