Wolf

I'm starving while the world around me 

Is overflowing in poetry

I find it funny that I could feed upon

The heaps of unread stories

And still find myself being fed less and less 

By the authors who throw away their voices

Like scraps that are better wasted for a nightstand, 

Bought in a place unsatiated to their lust in being known,

so I write another poem

and I starve, like a wolf,

Oh how I starve.
