Hunger
Evan Martinez
There remains the mystery of how the pupil devours so much bastard beauty. (from “The Rewilding” by Ada Limón)
Brief is the fullness
of a creature without abandon
& the maw is a poem
without punctuation.
The groundhogs in my backyard
eat cat food we leave for cats
& I’m glad
they love themselves
enough to rise to the occasion
of massacre. Anthropocene &
It’s a curse to live without edges
and be borderless
in an insatiable world.
