Galactic Hunger
A surreal poem about eating mountains.
Let me at it!
.
I am starving on a celestial level.
The roar of my stomach growls
Through the cosmos.
Look at the stars and how they wobble!
.
Let me snort the mist of the mountains!
.
I cannot handle this hunger
And the way it gnaws at my bones.
There is a ringing in my ears
And everything has shifted to grey.
.
Let me swallow the rivers!
.
The thirst is unbearable.
My tongue has turned to sand.
It crunches between my teeth.
Not even the Milky Way satisfies now.
.
Let me dine on earthen soil!
.
Only this earth and this river
Will quench and fill the beast within.
So let me eat, let me carve new valleys
And eat until I'm satisfied.
