I Have Come to Listen
I hunger
Feed me your words
Sweet ones
Sour ones
Bitter and salty ones
Let me chew on their meanings
Savour their sounds
Swallow them down
to my empty gut
Fill me up with enunciation
I will bite on the assonance and
lick the alliteration from my lips
Words
a meal for the mind
An incantation for satiation
Just deserts for a starving heart
Feed me
