LIVING

I can’t survive without eating.
Rice
Vegetables
Meat
Air
Light
Water
Parents
Brothers and sisters
Teachers
Money too hearts too
I couldn’t have survived without eating.
With my belly full
When I wipe my mouth
Scattered about the kitchen
Carrot tails
Chicken bones
My father’s guts
My fortieth sunset
For the first time the tears of a wild beast filled my eyes.
