Hungry as I Lie Content

My very fingers are foreign
like old logs fallen
riddled with twisted veins
heavy
the structure crumbling
under its own weight.

Where has my youth
in such subtlety flown?
I must have been sleeping
as it fled the bed
dozing as it dressed
planted the lightest of kisses
upon my brow
to flee to brighter lights
wilder nights
hungry as I lie content.
