I hunger for a road without dust.
I hunger for blue eyes crinkled in laughter.
I hunger for the sacred mundane—something common,
something curative like hands, skin, truth, and deep rooted trees.
I desire dry socks and shoes that fit, field daisies that bob
in breezes, library books, slopes, rain and green canopy.
I hunger for soup beans, onions & hot buttered cornbread,
glasses of creamy milk, and honey still in its comb.
I want all the utilities paid at once, no red tag left
on the front door knob. I hunger for southern gospel
contentment even if the gods verbalize no such assurances.
I’ve been hungry my whole life. I’ve never not known
hunger. For a change, I want my breasts full and flowing
to feed all the young ones. I hunger a grown woman’s desires.
Lovely work. It reaches deep inside and exposes that part of us that always looks
beyond the sunrise or in the comfort of sunset for answers unknowable, a yearning born beyond our ken.
This poem does a wonderful job of evoking desire and want in the reader. You did a great job of expressing the emotion you were looking to convey. Particularly like the lines “I want all the utilities paid at once, no red tag left on the front door knob.”, “I’ve been hungry my whole life. I’ve never not known hunger.” and “I hunger for the sacred mundane”. The craving of a comfortable life is something not everyone thinks about in a world where so many live in abundance. Thank you for writing.
Ache, as the title, is present in all your hungers here.
Exquisite poem, Melva.
Melva Sue, I love the poem, too, especially the phrase “southern gospel / contentment.”
