RAVAGED
And then satiated
() () () () ()
Ravaged by a hunger,
We ate until sated,
And while more was offered,
The thought of more became –
Less appealing.
Ravaged by a hunger,
We felt the need to devour,
Relishing every morsal
Until the thought of more became –
Less appealing.
Ravaged by a hunger,
No stone unturned,
Cups overflowed,
Nothing left to want. All became –
Less appealing.
Ravaged by a hunger,
We devoured until sated,
Left nothing to want,
Left nothing for which to dream,
Nothing but the emptiness which became
Less reason to go on.
Ravaged by a hunger
Became our reason
To part.
