Le Goût – Etude 1.4
The Mouth: Organ of Myth
THE STORY
The Mouth: Organ of Myth
At the entrance of the cave, everything seems peaceful and comfortable.
Limpid air rushes without fear into the murky lair,
disappearing, and then reappearing, delicately warmed, and creamy.
The ground is soft and the walls are slick and shiny
radiating a sweet and reassuring heat.
The jaws close; the walls move and distort,
revealing a polymorphous essence.
The glutton engulfs and delivers its prey
to its thousand starving heads
which indulge without permission in the banquet.
Satiated and bloated, they vanish peacefully,
sleeping nestled in their magic grotto.
The camouflage is perfect.
