hungry for just a taste
knowing more would make me crumble
needing to nibble a bit from below
you can take it, give it
you have so much more
when I don’t have nearly enough
will we have this chance again
I’m thinking not
so rather than mourn
let’s celebrate
soar together
as high as we can go
so maybe a taste isn’t enough
I knew it wouldn’t be
I’m crumbling
on my knees
you make me hunger

Acclaim
They had their roles to play
with no understudies they were pressed to perform
no matter the circumstances
The dancer with a sore toe
The singer gargling warm saline
The writer with a broken pencil
All had to carry on
finding new ways
to perform without conforming
to express without regressing
to satisfy without feeling sated
When the lights dimmed
critics would come out of their slouch
and pick and mangle and scoff
since they were unable to do more
The roles would be filled again
by new artists the next day
and those with acclaim as well as not
would all be forgotten just the same
pay attention
let me in
please don’t say no
I hear that word enough
no, you’re too this or too that
for once just let it be enough
I know there’s too much
buried down deep
it’s just been tapped
and holy shit, somebody
should pay attention
to the scrawl that’s emerging
I suspect it will be of interest
to those who like connecting dots
and solving puzzles
I’m not quite sure about the outcome
the puzzle’s picture is still vague to me
the journey will be a bit lonely
but never dull
so let me in
be the one who says yes
predawn
are there dreams at night
you can bring out in unforgiving light
or is it always dark where you are
are there wishes you fish for
but getting lost in the teeming rubble
makes you forget your intent
are there too many voices
crying in chaos yet in unison
or can you still pick out mine
do you bleed and spew
just to show you grew
did you learn you were never whole
are the images too stark
to make you retreat to the dark
or will you keep the lights on
