Returns Poetic Bloomings

 The Hunger Returns

 

Traveling to Arizona and California last month

satisfied a hunger in my soul.

Visiting with family.

Playing in the ocean.

Basking in the sun during winter.

 

But like I’m ready for a meal

four hours after the last one,

I’m ready to travel again.

 

Like my tummy growls when I’m hungry:

My eyes search for something new.

My fingers itch to pack a suitcase.

My right foot longs for the feel of the gas pedal.

 

Some folks understand this and some don’t.

Regardless, I must deal with it,

and I’d rather fulfill it, than starve myself.
