It's so much heavier than I would have ever thought it to be, you know?
How it sinks hooks to your chest and holds you where you stand
No one tells you of the hunger
How the body burns to complete the almost forgotten muscle memory
to serve at your altar, break upon your wheel
No one tells you you'll still take pictures for them
a BlueJay in a neighbor's garden
an Orange Peel on a counter
Large Puddles with the reflection of the Moon
No one tells you of the walks
how every one of them is taken with you
how you're always just one street away and I can never seem to catch up
No one tells you the things that catch
how you're always dancing thru the rain as it falls
how you laugh in the wind and surround me
and the hunger
dance with me in the supermarket aisle as we buy frozen perogies
Let me Hunger for You in a way that Matters.
