there's something about the shape of this poem that really suits it; I don't know if it was particularly intentional or not, but it feels fitting. especially the "to eat" it's almost like a pedestal that the rest of the poem sits on.

I think maybe having some sort of punctuation between Nosferatu and the original may make this more potent.
