I Know Before I Kiss You
You come upon me
half-starved, wanting
nothing to do with
this hunger. But
you remind me why
I hunger; it’s the body
trying to voice its needs.
More instinctual
than breathing, I
fall. And it keeps
choosing me back.

Economical, high-impact poem, Geoff! Excellent.
But you remind me why I hunger;
It’s the body (TRYING) to voice it’s needs
Speaks to me of my many times being in a place I knew better but couldn’t help myself, trying to feed a need more pain than pleasure.
