pangs

I'm so greedy
I'll have you
even when parts of me 
are still leaving 
myself

some of the time
you've been greedy; not only 
acquiesced but
reveled in it
and pulled my hair
and held me in bind
and threatened me for
taking dessert

sometimes, it has
caused you to fast
and I've regret my own glutton 
for things that are beautiful 

I do eat 
with my eyes, and I 
can taste the good in everything
(though I also, quickly
sniff out an odd aftertaste)
