Hunger Poem by Paul Perkins
Hunger
Hunger - 1988
Into the night
each enters empty;
fingers, bare hands,
closed upon a lifeline of liquid solace;
bent out into sub-human form
in the flow
of the club beat pounding
chemically hardened souls with poisoned bodies....
Sweet flesh in the eyes of the starving.

'Sweet flesh in the eyes of the starving' a line that so well describes the theme of hunger and need. A poem that displays the loneliness of chemical dependence. Thanks Adrian..
