A Wild Thing


Mr. Sendak
I want your heart
I would eat it 
If I could
Even now
I would gulp down
The ashes
Of your rage
And roar a 
Terrible Roar
And manifest
The spikes
Of your sensitivity
Your pain
Your madness
Your aggressive
Dismissal
Of almost
Everything
I would 
Impale the world
With my honesty
And the grumbling
Bite
Of my love
I would remake you
And hurt through it
As you hurt through it
Hurt every day
I would revel in the pain
To be as strong
As you
