HUNGER

Like a pigeon awaiting the scraps that may fall to the ground
I wait 
My anxiety and patience screams 
At me to grab and run
Yet I sit still and bide my time
 
Longingly my eyes linger over each bite 
That the well fed take 
The action of mouth opening 
Enclosing
Then devouring 
Seem so alluring
I am transfixed
I stare shamefully
Enviously

Hunger is wrecking me 
The pangs are abusing me 
I need to appease
The growling of my stomach
The exhaustion I feel 
The torment wrecking my mind 

Will no one spare a thought 
And a few morsels?
I can feel the rage building in me 
I want
I need 

knowing that I must wait angers me 
I feel abandoned by humanity 
Lunch hour drones on 
I salivate 
No energy to grab and run
So I must wait patiently  

The rumblings continue
I stare longingly 
Slyly
I am near tears 
I have not the courage to ask 
For it will seem a fraught plea
My tears will betray my desperation
And my impatient hunger 

I still have my pride
It clings to me 
Admonishing me for 
What I must do after they 
Who are well fed depart 
Sadly it silences not my hunger 

I will not ask 
Nor beg
But wait patiently
Hoping for crumbs
Or beads of any liquid left
For me to assemble
A feast 
A stomach silencing munch
