Beggars
smiling hunger-plain
tugging on the shirt-tail, train
(if you pray with paws it rains)
fluid in a memory
something too familial
in the mouth of my abstain
salty in the wine of more
sweetly laughing taps
"enough"
and the touch of tongue is rough
like kitten for the teat

it's us

pawing at the trace of lack
teasing with my eyes shut tight
dappling the rats of hiss

oblivious to fright

I am

a kitten, afterall, I am

hungry

for the meal with claws -

suckling the black to plain...


The tiny pointed milkiness
are pink consistent gravelings
and all the words I had to say
have left me at the gathering
gnawing pouches belliness
gentle as my ache allows
sorrowing the blind of that

fluid is my memory

and the touch of tongue is rough
whispers are a dull screaming
hungry for a meal with claws

before I am awake

I say:

"Nothing, nothing, is enough."

And thus, I learned to pounce the hunt

and sleep in curvature, benign...

mumbling

the pain...

this gnaws at the soul...and yet, there is in this and all of yours, quit of confidence of knowing what is and knowing your needs, a structure that doesn't hide, but comes forth in all of yours that I read...missed reading you...happy 4th dear lady!

And oh how they will claw at a pillow or whatever, when taken from thier mother before it's time.

The source of life revealed in hungry verses....Such in depth reflections...

Celeste you're the best!
