Heart's Hunger

Selected Poems

by Karen Press

 
Trader in hungers
she grew strong
 
And everything that could be eaten, was eaten

She was bricks, words, skin, bread.

She was fire, milk, the road, the shade.

Her roof stretched wide across the city.

In her doorway people embraced.
 
The moon grew thinner and thinner
watching over the wastelands of her abundance
