hunger
poems
- You’re a painting
- You’re a body of photographs
- framed in a movie reel –
- You’re music
- You’re a guitar that sings
- on love-stained strings –
- You’re something to behold
- a rose never to touch
- a smile just for show –
- Does the hunger ever end?
- even in romance and pretense
- even in more-than-just–friends –
- You’re poetry
- You’re heaved sonnets to a delicate love song–
- An Oliver and a Dickinson
- in a world that wants
- Cummings
- and Nerudas –
- You are freedom
- You are madness kissed
- You are fires to a spark –
- You are distance
- You are desire
- You are the reason I walk –
- There I go
- yearning
- screaming –
- running
