The Gospel According to George Romero (Revision)

[Todd]

Hunger summons us
for chewing is the way 
of the night flesh.
Worms speak without words, yet
their mouths are ever open.
No one sleeps the long dark.
When we eat your memories
our skin warms beneath 
a false sun. We recall how
we were. Like you, 
we always want
to look back.

Original

Hunger brings us back.
Chewing is the way 
of the night flesh.
Worms teach us 
that the mouth
is not for words.
No one sleeps 
the long night.
When we eat your brains, 
we can remember
the sunrise and who
we were. Like you, 
we always want
to look back.
