Old Hunger
Is it the main course of the tale
or the ingredients that count
Is it the entree served first
or the dessert that surmounts
Is it the first that was last
or the last then before
As the order indentured
reverses once more
Was it the things that you said
or the silence you kept
Was it the moments you starved
or those times that you wept
Was it for honor and glory
or a passion unseen
As your meal time resets
-and old hunger now feeds
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
