complete in hunger
heart's belly growls
the burn of yearn
bellows within
pumping valves and tubes
manifest destiny
of lone nights
waking rendezvous
of spent wonder
in passing could have beens
words regretted
spin and dangle
from cable ties
cinched up tight
around the gasping blood drum
emptied larder
heart's belly growls
eating what's left
serving up itself
at a fancy banquet for one
