HUNGRY

Driving self through dust

to taste the glow

of minutia

carrying self

through sleeplessness

to dreamlessness

missing the exhaustion

of walking up the hill

full on blackberries

stained and strained

nonstop premonition gossip 

if I hang around this place

for long enough

then I become the offering

pinch of coffee grounds

at Ethiopian Jazz Starbucks

cement dust eucharist for the 

23^rd & Jackson construction zone

me in my coat , long past bedtime

this heavy desire for heavier bonds

loveliest creep
for hire.
