HUNGRY
Lyrics adapted from Gwendolyn Brooks, "My Dreams, My Works, Must Wait til after Hell"

I hold my honey and I hold my bread
In little boxes made up of my will
I close up tightly each little lid
And say Be firm til I return from hell

I am very hungry, I am incomplete
None can say when I may dine again

No man can tell me any word but Wait
I keep my eyes pointed in
Wondering how long is this my fate
And why’d these devil days ever begin

I am very hungry, I am incomplete
None can say when I may dine again

What legs are left will take me home
What little heart I keep the memory of
I hope the taste I still remember
Honey and dreams, dreams and bread, bread and love

I am very hungry, I am incomplete
None can say when I may dine again
