Mortal

I like
Being empty
It keeps me hungry
And avidly searching for
Whatever it is
I’m
Avidly searching for

I think my
Time here is becoming
More finite
And defined
And I can look at myself
In a mirror
And know that someone
Else
Is getting more of you than I ever did
And the person
In the mirror
Looks me in the
Eyes
And then down to my body
My body
My lonely body
And says:

“One day”
