"Hey have you seen my jacket?"
"It's on a #hunger in the hunger."
"Sorry it's what where?"
"In The Hunger On a Hunger."
"... Are you hungry?"
"Yes!"
"We'll go to the restaurant just as soon as I find my jacket."
"ON! A! HUNGER! IN! THE! HUNGER!!"

This world leaves me wanting. I hunger for the kind of change only a devastating global war can accomplish, a reset, if you will. Let the useful and skilled rise to the occasion while the rest of us serve as fertilizer for their crops.

.

the cardinal cries
deep and abiding hunger
for truth in the trees

#vss365 #hunger #haiku

this #hunger
this thirst
I press my parched lips
to the thought of you
first
just to survive
your every word
a drop on my tongue
leaves me more desperate
for the ocean of you
hollowed, starving
I am dust and bone
and you are the wellspring
the feast
my deprivation
released

"Autumn Returns"

The vibrant green turns brown
All leaves eventually fall

Warmth hides away
Allowing Jack Frost to return

I #hunger for beautiful days
Where the light never leaves

When days blended into one
And nothing seemed wrong

Now darkness slowly crawls
Over hills and rooftops

#vss365

Solitude is
A beautiful thing
Until the #hunger stirs
For the touch of another
We are not meant
To be alone
All the time

"You look amazing!"
"I gave up sugar. And dairy, gluten, FODMAPs, carbs—"
"Oh, the carnivore diet?"
I prefer predator, but tomato, tomatoe. "Marie looks pale."
"She's gone vegan. Meat is murder now."
I close in, smell her fear, her rabbity blood; my #hunger roars. Grass-fed. Free range. #vss365

#vss365 When famine arrived, the Fear Gorta came begging at each cottage door. Some shared what little they had. Others cursed his #hunger and drove him back into the cold.

By spring, the generous houses had full larders.

In the others, they were eating the dead. #Edvane #DarkFantasy

The wave rises, cresting at twenty minutes; known and predictable. Forty-five hours into the ninety-six-hour fast; leaving only water and modest electrolytes as inputs, the body’s systems have shifted a day ago to clean-up and repair. This last #hunger response is now passing, as they do.

She felt a deep #hunger,
still, she wasn’t about to have someone
#medddling around in her kitchen.
She’d starve tied in this chair
before she’d eat anything that evil hag cooked for her.

We #leap into the #abyss

#Hunger, my lifelong #abyss

We'll #swan into love's #abyss

Ever #defy hate's #abyss

Quick fix
Push the pain forward
Kick the deity down the road
They don’t like it
But it only leaves a slight bruise
They asked me once
“For what do you hunger?
With salvation it might be granted”
I said it didn’t matter
Whatever I consume today
Will just get crapped out tomorrow

'I #hunger for wide blue skies, the song of a nightingale, crisp autumn evenings, the-'
'Yeah, yeah. Lovely, Gabe. But poetry won't fill our stomachs. You need to shop... unless you fancy sharing my last jar of pickled slugs.'
'Already on my way, Pixie!'
'Thought so.'

Would popping someone in the beak because you're starving and they're annoying the shit out of you be considered a #hunger strike?

There was no "famine"
See, Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes
All of the other food, meat, fish, vegetables
Were shipped out of the country under armed guard
To England while the Irish people starved
—Sinéad O’Connor
