My Evening Walk
Hunger and thirst, those unhappy twins,
accompany me tonight. They have yet to learn
the social graces. Given the chance, they misbehave.
They shout at men and they wink at women.
I clasp their hands on my evening walk.
Left alone they would bolt, one from the other,
both from me. Without hunger, without thirst,
where would I go, what would I do...

Different! Interesting twist..I like the personification of hunger and thirst. I can speak for hunger..it is alive.

Re: My Evening Walk
Hi lizzie. Maybe I should have called the poem "Cruising". :-) It was writ last November and I remember *exactly* the walk I took. It was Danforth, of course, and it was cold. I was walking back from the liquor store with wine. The little lights had been put up on the potted trees up and down the street. The poem is a very simple one about...motivation...:-)

One of the things that you do best Soho is leave your reader wanting more.. (I suspect and have for quite a while that some big things have changed in your life.. sometime before the pnuemonia told hold...) I can live with the curiousity.. just makes me read the next one and the one after that. Hope Fanny's birthday is marvelous! Btw..a different, more provocative title might be .. more intruiging.

Intriguing little poem Soho.
Like Liz, I'd like to see a more evocative title.
Still, we can't have everything...
