Two All-Death Patties on a Sesame Seed Bun

Two slices of death

from the bleeding remains

of the mothers whose babies

we ground into veal

so we could curdle 

the milk created for them

and melt it atop 

the mothers’ bodies

with lettuce, pickles,

and onions

The special sauce attempts

to conceal the pain
