Hunger

It’s becoming slimmer and slimmer!

We ate enormously.
We ate everything.
We were nice hungry people.

When our plates
were as empty
as our eyes, we looked at each other
and smiled vigorously.

It’s growing thinner and thinner!

We ate spaciously
We were beautiful hungry people,
living in a beautiful stuffed world,
We ate everything:
meat and skin
roots and cartilage
clocks and joints
nails and stuff
genitals and information
hair and leaves
sky and bones
stars and water
space and air

bones and music
peelings and pits
seeds and tongues
bowls and galaxies
roots and leaves
earth and teeth
viscera and weapons
soil and images
eyes, livers, and words


And black holes
And black holes

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Then, when there was
nothing left, only us,
we slept together
and laughed gluttonously.

It’s becoming skinner and skinnier
just because we are awfully good hungry people:
prettier and hungrier than ever.
We need to eat, need to be happy;
We need to smile
to show our sharp beautiful teeth.
