The hunger that’s eating me,
The thirst that is draining me:
This longing for human touch
That I always craved oh so much.
Alenka H., 2023
Written as an answer to Diane Luise Davis‘s prompt in Poetry Therapy Group on FB. With her permisson I’m sharing her verse:
I am wondering if my friends are mad at me,
Diane Luise Davis, Top of my mind
A thought that often comes up,
I don’t ever think they may be glad of me,
A thought that would fill joy’s cup.
