Spiritual Hunger
by Vero Lecocq
One bite
and
Eden
f
e
l
l.
For years,
Man suffered for
that single
bite,
and I,
full
to the brim
with it,
refused
to take another.
But,
years after Woman ate--
and ceased to eat--
one bite of bread,
one sip of wine,
and
Paradise
appeared again.
And who am I
to deny
this feast?
