I Almost Drowned in a Cranberry Bog

Small, shiny and sweet,
I need to have them all.

Soaked to my slithering bones,
I cut through the water
and stretch a greedy mouth
until the limits of my lips
begin to split and sting
under the bitter juice
trailing red down my chin.

I tell her and myself
that I am almost human,
that I am stuck in this marsh
eating, drinking, sleeping
with perfectly formed berries
ripe and yearning to be picked.
Indulgences—
I must consume them all,
or shed this burning skin.
