Are you finishing that?

#vss365 #hunger

Can you hear it?

In the distance

Cries of global #hunger

Desperate poverty
advancing our way

No longer
just a Third World
tragedy play

Can you hear it now?

Perhaps you should
pop out those ear buds?

In our rapidly shrinking world
there is no more THEM

There is finally
only us

I am running
On my #hunger
For Justice
So it seems

This didn’t
Sneak up on me
Like a punchline
Or a meme

I’ve been tamping down
My outrage
To place
MY comfort 1st

Letting monster
Of injustice
Rampage
& do its worst

But no more
Can I stand by
& placate
This evil curse

Sometimes she finds it hard to tell the difference between #hunger and boredom. Something undefined that growls and gnaws its way out until her insides lie outside, bleeding on the floor.

Bob sighs after the fifth bookstore. Nora is hunting for a romance novel she spotted on TikTok, and he can't understand why her #hunger for this book has to be fed today. There are plenty of things about women he'll never figure out.

What drives us?

Apart from our gut/brain axis

Why do we like movies about
Vampires, zombies
And cooking shows

There we go again
Staggering down the street
Crying out for braiiins
Cooking up a storm for Masterchef
Or in sexy silky underwear
Hungry for a bite of Hugh Jackman hunger

You feed

That perpetual
churning
that #hunger
drool-slick
and driven
where
this world-worn hollow
inside
begs for
nourishment
that never
sates—

Until now

she passes by, every day
The trees speak, and poetry
sifts through the ripples of time.
when she walks I feel sunshine
elegant poise, embalmed
into imagination, the #hunger
feels into fear, and I fall.

Stuck in the mountains with nothing but the freezing winds to keep them company, they quickly grew desperate

After a few days, they started eating their shoes, then turned to cannibalism

That act cursed them to know #hunger without end and a painful existence with no reprive

Nevermind this #hunger
that eats my years
But let me not starve
of kindness...
THAT is a hunger that would've killed me,
soul and all...
A devastating curse that'll plague my entire existence
Let me be satiated from kind souls
Regardless of who and where you are
Let me dwell
in peace.

Hunger in the soul,
Bones remember hollow days,
Desperation's claws.

Where had Dylan’s drive gone? His #hunger to get out there and simply fly? When had he become this lackey for a regime that cared only for rules and regulations?

Time was, he wouldn’t have cared what anyone said. He and Marin would have been together. He’d be out there, in Magpie. Flying.

The, supposedly, friendly vampires, if there ever was such a thing, had succumbed to their #hunger and, apparently, it was up to Rory, through Esme, to bring them back to some semblance of sanity.

Or he could just kill them. That was an option. But it may affect the quest unnecessarily.

Foxblood

the fox sluices through the hedgerow
like a sentence losing permission
bone-white hunger in the barley glare
it does not think
     does not pause
        does not explain
it just arrives
and the rabbit
is suddenly a theory that failed at velocity.
