Hambre del Alma

 

 

Days 

just run together like 

ignorant sentences

I am a stranger to

my own thoughts 

which gathers darkness like

flies on a dead thing

 

Mouths

open with hunger 

needing me

flapping like 

unlucky fish

 

I resent it. 

 

there is only

so much a 

person can wake up to

any given day

before they crack like

stone against an

inevitable earthquake

<3 I love getting a solid

<3 I love getting a solid dose of new poems from you!

 It hits so hard at "I resent it" that the rest just seems like access to me! I would love to see alonger edit of this piece that does more of the beginning stanza!


Much Love

A Good Capture of Mood

"..thre is only/so much a/person can wake up to..." If I had a penny for every one of those I woke up to recently. Emersed in sorrow and a bit of ranting - sounds like solitude. Well penned piece of art.

I know youve had it rough

I know youve had it rough lately. I'll message soon. Promise.
