Starving within the memory of a feast
uneaten
My bread forever disappearing
—in the wine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
My father placed it in a bowl,
in a bowl, before me.
It made me sorry to my soul.
'Twas then that I could see...
that I became aware...
the oatmeal sitting there
was not oatmeal I could eat -
I'd asked for cream of wheat,
and the cereal of my father,
my own dear uncle's brother,
sat uneaten, and grew cold,
as both of us grew old.
I offered up my truest and best love
for you
Leaving wishes on the altar
for everyone else
A first and last supper combined
into one
Judas getting fat from a promise
denied
Starved within the memory of a feast
uneaten
My bread forever disappearing
in the wine
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
stop connecting
dinner plates.
There is no room
for nourishment
or meaning.
Forget dessert.
I will be there.
Let me dance naked.
I will be raw
and incorrect.
I am full of manic
mannerisms
and dramatic
gestures
that dance,
however desperately.
Tomorrow
I will edit
the imperfections.
Today,
let it be
in the uneaten peas
on a plate.
The errors
illustrate me.
A bird succumbed by its family,
With a dainty little song
They survive natures winters
They survive through it all
So I wonder about this chickadee
Which visits me
And I wonder what a coincidence it may be
That I’ve never had birds
Or even heard them sing
For before, I had bird seeds,
Uneaten and clean
And now with abundance,
There’s always a mess
And a song, and a dance
While I drink my coffee
I hate to see a plate of wasted food
uneaten stuff thrown callously away
no care for hunger and starving lot
delicious delicacies left to decay.
An ocean of undernourished children
skinny bones, wait for a morsel of toast.
Scrapping leftovers in drains and bins,
Superpowers or frankenstein ghosts?
I hate to see a plate of wasted food,
My only appeal, is this what we should?
