Inhumane Shelter



impatient skin
stretches aching
unable to contain
this wild hungry beast
desire clawing caged
by bars of space time money
thwarted and locked away
by loyalty to an ideal
to something like
celestial domestication
she would smash the prison
to glowing splinters
if there was a promise
of starvation here
or even a whiff
of food
