enough
take me home
I have had enough
of hunger
of memories that disperse
overnight
from my stomach to the pores of my skin
like the smell of onions
I do not want joy
from onions
not that golden fragrant song
that rushes to fill
the crevices of my cells
overflowing, receding
and once again
there is the hunger
I have had enough
just bury me
throw dirt over my body
let me grow roots
I have had enough
of hunger
of memories that disperse
overnight
from my stomach to the pores of my skin
like the smell of onions
I do not want joy
from onions
not that golden fragrant song
that rushes to fill
the crevices of my cells
overflowing, receding
and once again
there is the hunger
I have had enough
just bury me
throw dirt over my body
let me grow roots

This is a deceptively powerful poem, Firebird.
