please! don’t fill my cup




my cup is empty

and i have desire

for no more

in this land of plenty



food here taste no more

for my taste buds are depleted

as if x-rays have destroyed

my heart, my desire



in the land of scarcity

there was joy at that time

every instant i returned home

to share potted curd so tasty
