Red , red is the color of my hunger ,
like the blood that flows endlessly from
the cut on my left ring finger . Like the rose
that withered on my front door step . Like the
color of my cheeks or the echoing of a bruise.
Deny myself simple pleasures like the breath of
another or the feel of water. Giving more, more than
I have to satisfy another. My hunger is red like a lung, but
I’m exhaling more than in -- my hunger is your happiness.
Your hunger is a darkness that is simply nothing like a black hole
of constantly collapsing stars that shine like an angler fish’s
allure. Like a deep , deep green that feeds upon the
beautiful . Like a hypnotic blue that envelopes you in
a trance of one thousand pounds . Destroy me like
a lion upon a dying prey . Take and take more
than what is offered . Your hunger is an
endless cavern , inhaling more than out --
your hunger is your gain.
