The pinch of spice

 

Aah, it pains when pricked

To bear the pinch of a sharp edge

The abrasion into deeper tissue

The moistened eye and shriek of pain

When being adorned for a savory moment

While the saliva overflows at the sight 

Of a pinch of spice over my corpse

Decked up in a shroud of a wrap

That conceals the blood and life

Cleaned before it touches your platter.
