Hunger Doesn’t Sleep

I am a wolf

And I am hungry

I stalk through the night

And I look up at you

A white eye

Watching like some god

I’ve worshipped you

For my entire, grounded life

But you’ve given nothing

Only a coldness

An ache so deep

I’ll never dig it out

But one day, you’ll fall

Out from your palace

Of starry dust and wind

And I’ll be there

Ready to catch you

Between my fangs

And swallow you whole
