and this hunger in the body
shame the writing on the walls
of this which we have leased
and must return
must have returned
a personal debt is owedpaid in pounds of flesh
in pounds and pounds and pounds of flesh
wherein we house an ironic sense of hunger
detachment, accomplishment and envygimme shelter, gimme shelter
gimme a sign in the guts that love was once there
oh god, i'm so sorry
painted on bricks
oh god, i'm so sorry
carved in wooden hearts
oh god i'm so sorry
written all over our faces
shame these signs of times
who show not love or it's absence
shame these signs
these hunger pangs.
