Treatment



his stomach
his toothed pit
growls for it
until it collapses
a blacker than black hole balloon
not enough calories
for sound

what do you do for that boy?
a boy who drools
anticipating
not the fruits of his garden
not the stuff tended
and fertilized on light
and sweat

he salivates
for the saltless sun only

what do you do with him?
he cares not
for raking fingers
in the sprinkled sod
furrows deep
deep furrows
in moist reddened browns

he ignores
his seed gifts
neglected nutrition
no interest in
filling bellies with
toil
only passion for
feeding eyes
the light that tickles retinas

and whether or not
those bouncing waves
have the touch
no one cares

he's lost
in a fever of hunger
made zombie by
a spiritual tapeworm
worm
what do you do to him?

you kick him
in the gut
