Hunger is rage and hunger is feeling
An arid surround with no sense or meaning
An empty hole with cavernous echo
A pit in the stomach that churns and billows
Loves savage desire with clench of fist
A tortuous path with turn and twist
A thirst to relish the desires of life
To cut out the evil with sharpness of knife
To sate the excitement of fullness complete
A word from the mouth upon empty sheet
Verses of rhythm, chapters of prose
Words to fill hunger that each of us knows
