after Eduardo C. Corral

What did you do with hunger?
Did you turn it into fear? 

What do you weigh today?
And why.

Why can’t you sleep at night?
What are you jumpy about?
We’ve talked about this.

Are you wanted? For how long?
How long have we got? 

When were you going to tell me?
Tell me where it hurts. Please. 

What did you do with desire?
Did you turn it into hunger?
