hungry marrow

a return to huger
    first by mouth
then further
    unto hungry bellies 
    and bones

unto petition's last first plea
    my God
    my God
    why hath thou...

    "Stop there my child
      you are not forsaken.
      
      By hunger I call
      until you call me 
      from your belly
      from your bones
      
      and have but the word
      alone we speak
      on emptied pride
      thankful for 
      this bread I hide"
