On some days, I get hungry early
and cannot keep my fingers from
the fishes and the loaves, hoping
to recreate the miracle, and feed
a multitude. Then you arrive,
and we together dine. I often eat
and eat until, stuffed and sweaty,
I can eat no more.
After,
when you have left, gone back to work,
I make myself a sandwich, brew more
coffee, plan our dinner, warm the stove.
My hunger is a tapeworm made of love.
