Insatiable Hunger

It’s your insatiable hunger
which feeds you
and makes the universe groan
in one continuous act
of giving birth.

Nothing you crave
and may succeed in finding,
will ever satisfy
your ravenous heart and mind.

Get to know your own hunger.
You will soon see
souls starving everywhere,
and life’s banquet
spread out before you.
