I’m cheeseburger and
fries hungry.
Cold leftovers hungry.
I’m ‘buy me a donut’ hungry
and ‘eat something salty’ hungry.
I’m fresh bread and
avocado hungry.
Meat sandwich, pepperoni
pizza, gallon of ice cream,
bottle of wine hungry.
I want to eat.
I’m orgasm hungry
and sad silence hungry.
I’m left-out hungry
and why won’t he
notice me hungry.
I’m too scared to ask
hungry and I think
I love you hungry.
I’m abandoned and hungry.
I’m dancing after midnight
hungry.
Hug me hungry and
look at me famished.
Sing that song starving
and pregnant craving
hungry.
Today I painted and
felt satisfied. I emptied
myself and wound up
at the fridge … hungry.
So I fed myself.
You fed me and I ate it.
And I was satisfied.
