the tender bits you
overlooked

Here I am
Sating myself again

Well Mo it seems to be a "sate-isfying" arrangement.

You do so much in twenty-one syllables. I am clapping and my muse is lying back, irritated and angry that you do so well with such a constrained prompt. Ha! If we could not sate ourselves, can you imagine? I cannot.

thank you so much Caren! I find there is some prejudice towards short form, that it's too easy, but I can spend days on a little poem, some have even taken years to write ;) xomo

My first thought was the serpent eating it's own tail perpetually. "Self consuming" and "Sating myself again". Am I reading too much into this? And yet the title suggests someone else. Their heart. I find myself mesmerized but these lines Maureen. Perhaps I've over thought it or I got it, but that is what is wonderful about this poem.
