Thirst, hunger

After Isaiah 55

A sound a word makes

a response a word evokes

the sounds and responses

of thirst and hunger and

the calls to the waters

the calls to the wine, the mind

the bread without crust

listen to the good

eat what is good

drink what is good

listen to the call

   to the immortal soul

drink the word

eat the word

drink and eat and be filled with the word

be satisfied, be restored

be replenished
