(Hunger Game)
Ntozake

Words so sweet
let me hold them
around my tongue
and savor
each letter and vowel
sucking with savagery
until they melt like liquid
quenching emotional thoughts
with delight
I crave your words with hunger
smelling my way to my next feeding
feed me with your alphabet
of love
and I shall
read you for eternity
