All Appetites Less One Poem by Mark Heathcote

All Appetites Less One



Entering the Priory,
they asked him have you eaten?
Yes, I'm-quite-full I've had
two cups of herbal tea;
oh, plus those obligatory anti-depressants.

Refrained in a soft, whispery breath,

A vastness immeasurable
outstanding - like nature
bewildering in its reach; outside-
slowly one voice brought him back to his senses
all appetites - less one returned.
