Hunger

Alas, I am alone with my thoughts
again. It doesn’t seem to matter much,
day or night or somewhere in between.
Time’s a meaningless concept here,
these days. Ah yes, these days,
nothing much I want to say about them!
So many unspoken apologies birthed this
relentless, insatiable hunger. Hunger that
claws and rips and tears with jagged teeth
at a reality I no longer wish to be mine.
But after pretending so long, how can I be sure
of what I wish it were instead?
