Kristen de Kline #102 hungry these poems

I

these poems are making me     hungry

I want to eat zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival
jam made from Illawarra plum trees

I want to taste loquat fruits
tangy flesh     orange like Fanta

savoury pork or sweet red bean
I'm stealing the food right out of your mouth


II

I watch you balance on a floating
hyphen

free fall in a burning
room

step away from the little
ledge

please don't tell me
the fish
never
cared

hungry     these poems are making me
