hunger satiated

dim 

sun set

need water 

thirst with hunger

void stomach rumbles 

mind imagines hot meal

with camomile tea and cake

headache fatigue with muscle cramps

I curl into a cold ball of flesh

savoury nutritious meal appears 

chilli beans rice almonds raisins 

filling stomach warms marrow 

hunger satiated  

drinking orange juice 

thirst is now quenched 

time to rest 

undress

dream

ThkU for read & comment, Anne. Can be blessing or addiction, dependent on how we interact with it. Have a good weekend. X.
