"The black meat"

"Traffickers in the Black Meat, flesh of the giant black centipede - sometimes attaining the length of six feet - found in a lane of black rocks and iridescent, brown lagoons, exibit paralyzed crustaceans in camoflage pockets of the Plaza visible only to the Meat Eaters."

In "Naked Lunch", the black meat is used as an alternative to drugs, specifically heroin. This is an interesting piece of imagery that I have explored and expanded upon in my visual journal

I like the image of the centipede squeezing the head as a sort of metaphorical comment on the hold of drug addiction
