hungry ghost

chasing you
I left me
like I do
when I'm chasing a
hungry ghost

scrawny
with a distended belly
that's never full
however much
it devousr

nothing outside
fills what's empty
 inside
longer than 
the dopamine rush
it neglect itself 
to sustain 

as empty as
the bars I haunted 
before you
these aren't the poems
I want to write

I long to be 
alone tonight
with the stars
the moon
and the wind
wafting down
from a snow cap

smoke swirling up
like a cat's tail 
flicking smoldering embers
sparking the night
with fire flies

snap crackle pop

I'm free (again)
from the trance 
of the hungry ghost
I'm content
with the one 
I most
need to know
