Description

'I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent, starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disquiets me,
All day I search the liquid sound of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
For your hands the color of a savage harvest,
I hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
The sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

And I walk hungry, smelling the twilight
Looking for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barren wilderness.'
