Hunger
The mouth is the entrance
to our hollow bodies, we are born
knowing it.
If hunger runs a long, tapered
finger along the wall of your stomach,
you reach
for food, put it in between
your teeth and chew and swallow.
Hunger
commands. Here is some sort
of miracle--the body's ability to ask
and obey.
I love the poem and the unexpected, amusing illustration!
