what little you feed me
taken like communion
with prayers for release
from the sins I relish and can't
relinquish.
Hope wakes me
and I run
for food offered to gods
on an altar that isn't mine to touch
where I leave a sentence or two
and make believe
skin hunger
is satisfied
through thoughts
trapped
in my pen
writing words never read
sipping tears
from an empty spoon.
Such fine and meaningful poetry, Lynette. I find that your words leave me sitting here, my thinking process awakened. I think you mean "altar" in the ninth verse. I could be wrong. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace,
