Awake at 3AM




















3AM and I'm chewing those words again
That you served up so long ago.
Like cud that never quite digests
The flavor changes
             poison lingers.

Like a starving child, I take what I am offered,
But accept it as a snack, not a four course meal.
As I swallow your words,
I know I will always leave the table
             hungry.
