LUNCH

Whats for lunch darling?

I am hungry like a wolf

Havent eaten for days

Just breathed air and sipped water

But have had no real sustenance

I have not fed from the surplus

I have not bathed in the wealth

Which the sun has drilled into this earth.

Scorched earth and burnt skin

You have illuminated this dirt

And I hate you because you never asked

Whether or not I wanted to stay in the dark.

Darling, I was hungry but now I am hungry no more

I told you I was starving but actually I am full

The stomach is empty

This sorrow little acid pouch

But I am full

Full of myself

How can you fill space itself?

You, treasured warmth, you, fiery demon

You burn in silence

And scream at me in ways i cannot hear

I am deaf to your cries

And that is good

Your agony is my pleasure, your pain my relief

If I could I would beat you, singe you will burning metal rods

Now feed me and begone

For I want to sit alone with my hatred.
