The pull before you give it a name. What the body has been wanting while you negotiated with it.

Hunger

Late spring opens an appetite. This week we name what we want, without polishing it, without apologizing, and notice what we have been calling by other names.

Each face in the street is a slice of bread
wandering on
searching

somewhere in the light the true hunger
appears to be passing them by
they clutch

have they forgotten the pale caves
they dreamed of hiding in
their own caves
full of the waiting of their footprints
hung with the hollow marks of their groping
full of their sleep and their hiding

have they forgotten the ragged tunnels
they dreamed of following in out of the light
to hear step after step

the heart of bread
to be sustained by its dark breath
and emerge

to find themselves alone
before a wheat field
raising its radiance to the moon

Bread

Each face in the street is a slice of bread
wandering on
searching

Describe a thing you stopped letting yourself want.

I used to dream of being a cool kid. 
The anticipation was euphoric. 
Back in 2015
I was a sick teen
I controlled my mind
11 years later
I've been sickened 
Victimizing isn't my style
So I've become a victim of my mind. 
Now I just pick and 
Pick and
Pick and grind
I lost the power to unwind. 
And I can't take back the time. 
I miss the excitement of mine. 
The strong resonance with rhymes
Is merely a byproduct that shines
Of what i could've been with time
But I chose this path to unwind!
