Fragments of bread
hours after supper
fill my ceaseless hunger —
Midnight and the light
is sparse,
the camel-eyed windows
gaze
at Giacometti
shadows —
Daybreak alights:
I laugh with the warblers,
and the breath of my nostrils
fires the oven,
the bread for my hunger,
once again.

As always, Dee, the picture you paint with words takes my breat away. And yet, I imagine myself, returning through the night to the crumbs left on the plate………. Love to you, my friend. ~ Bobbie
Dear Bobbie, I smile at the thought of you returning through the night to the crumbs left on the plate….Thank you, I am so happy you liked this poem. Love, Dee
Reblogged this on Nature’s Abhorred Vacuum.
Thank you for reblogging!
that last verse gives life to every line, every vein!
Thank you, Deb. Wonderful to know your thoughts on the last verse. Love, Dee
I love the way you conjoined the figurative with the subsequent literal, Dee – at least, that’s how I received your verse.
The opening stanza was especially profound. I love the layer within the layer.
Peace and blessings,
Eric
