lamp flickering,
******* dump exploring:

     either
          ‘brunchinner’
               or hunger . . .
My translation of a 10-word poem in Tagalog (Filipino) entitled "Pobreng Alitaptap" where I tried to maintain the thoughts within the limits of 10 English words. The term "brunchinner" was coined based on the Tagalog "altanghap" - a colloquial term among urban poor for a single meal in a day combining breakfast (almusal), lunch (tanghalian) and/or dinner (hapunan).
