Gnawing to the cuticle,
saliva soaked nail crumbs
litter grainy fields.

Wind swept grasslands
scrape weakened ankles,
dusting off soot plumes
cast-up tromping coals.

Hunger gripes loudly
watching wheat blow away.
Festering appetite
starving for bread.

Gaunt-
angst-ridden vagabonds
careening headlong to the feast.

Hey Rosie. waving As always, I appreciate your attention and feedback. You know it didn't occur to me that this poem might conjure images of zombies. Now that you've said it, I can see it being interpreted that way.

This reminds me of an ancient description of the starving Irish tromping the fields for left grain .
