Hunger

I am hungry for
That which is
Beyond
The dying sun
It’s blood soaked clouds
Beckon
Hold my starved eyes
Draws me closer
I feel the stinging
Coolness
Hit my skin
Like a dead
Puffer fish
Slapping my face
Filling me with its
Pungent scent
Sweetly sick
Decaying flesh
Bursting
With the juices
Of death
My hunger crawls
Like something out of a
Zombie’s grave
Lurching and
Uncoordinated
Towering over
Menacing
Not of this world
It is like a deep black
Abyss
That can never
Be filled
Completion so far
Far away
A black hole that sucks in
Universes
Yet is never sated
I yearn and ache
In the emptiness
Left behind
Abandoned
Dying
Searching
From the moment
I was born
Torn from spirit
Cursed with flesh
My soul screaming
Screeching into the
Writhing embers
Billowing
Striving for that
One pure spark
A cry from
My beloved
The answer to
My questioning
Something
Everything
Anything
