Stevie Smith - God the EaterThere is a god in whom I do...

God the EaterThere is a god in whom I do not believeYet to this god my love stretches, This god whom I do not believe in isMy whole life, my life and I am his. Everything that I have of pleasure and pain(Of pain, of bitter pain and men's contempt)I give this god for him to feed uponAs he is my whole life and I am his. When I am dead I hope that he will eatEverything I have been and have not beenAnd crunch and feed upon it and grow fatEating my life all up as it is his.
