HUNGRY

Starving... emaciated lioness

helpless face
pressed to the sun soaked grass
thrill of the hunt traded
for pre-packaged tame daily rituals

wishing to be soil and seed and blade
soaking in sun
fuel for her blood

envious

untame game
willingly passing through around
and just out of reach
sweet phantom taste sound sight
phantom freedom

spinning possibility over head
soul left unspent
only her eyes are satisfied
