He is born hungry.
inherited hunger from Father, Grandfather
lineage of Insatiable men, petrol covered tongues
unfound Glory resides inside their veins
fury Burns deep within their barrel chests
He grows wanting.
yearning Beaten into cherry stained cheeks
echoed by Father brought up by Grandfather
He may reign Champion, title most grand
may rise upon a Podium plated in Gold
He lives unsteady.
whispered admissions between Tracks
jagged pieces bare across broken Asphalt
between rustled hotel sheets, hidden texts
all for a Man who grips His trembling hand
