dream 1

I had a dream I was eating butterflies, must have been 2 or 3 of them already. I chewed the legs and the wings and had no thought until the last one, which I suddenly realized that I was eating butterflies. And a pang of shock overcame me, and I was horrified that I had even put such a beautiful thing in my mouth to devour so morbidly, crushing the legs and body into a thick, black and sticky paste between my teeth. I tried to spit it out but its texture was like molasses, sticking to my gums and the roof of my mouth, early glued to my molars that I had to use my tongue to pry it out. I continued to spit and retch to get the entrails out of me, but nonetheless some residue, like a swath of black ink, covered my tongue and a few morsels of its body lay wedged between the gaps of my teeth.
