Doesn't Matter

Simone Wesley

No hunger Taste of sky Is hardwater in my Mouth Soft palate Remember plate formation in-vitro tectonic shift I live in this landscape


Eat anything Molecules (not)right

Eat everything Radioactive tracers


Spelling childhood in My teeth Even after they’ve all Fallen out My teeth are straight

But I still feel where the fillings are Hot sky Nothing falls I have never seen clouds As they are Painted Here


I am a thing

The current remembers me


Travel the space waves Find Over Find Bridge you Yes I don’t I will paint you on rocks Like my hands aren’t Millions Of years old Mashing pigments To color My vision of you Iron


Still, no hunger

No

Hunger something else


Hunger for something

I cannot eat


Eat until I understand Understand until I cannot eat Eat hunger something Is under hunger is. Eat Remember is Eat I cannot Remember Eat until Eat until I eat until I Remember Hunger cannot eat I Eat until Remember Is not feel


Jaw wraps truth around hard Grind molars down


I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat

Hunger when Refuses be filled


Wrong food Still eat Wrong food Still hurt Wrong food Still hope Wrong food Still here Wrong food


Still you
