(In)satiable

yesterday.
i need so little
a roof over over my head
a slice of bread on the table
a pinch of salt
and him to share it with
today.
i turn salacious
i stalk the scent of his rugged cheek
i hunt down his dreams
and demand all his touches
be branded as “mine”
tomorrow.
i have forgotten
bread, roof and blunt hunger
but salt i never had
before he brought it
in his pocket mixed with some desert sand
yesterday after tomorrow.

    I shall feed my sighs
    with the bread crumbs of her time .
    Moment after moment
    Worn on the thread of ecstasy
    Mixed with the heady desert sand
    That knows only wild storms…

Plato believed an opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance. Fancy to share yours?
