for feeding lovers and not children , I will ask the gods for their mercy . They will give it ; the gods care little for children .
If I called you sacrificial lambs , would that make you feel better ? Would becoming holy ease your pain ? Think of it that way , if it makes you happy . You are my offerings . In return , I will gorge myself on what should be yours , and you will , maybe , become things who don ’ t hunger . You will have no bodies , no desires , and finally you will be free from the clawing , moaning want of this world .
