Poem: Starvation and Sorrow by Mark Tulin

She’s disjointed

Shattered

Gaunt and sunken

A cubist

A Picasso

Unable to eat

Fearing life

Broken and abused

Looking

But not finding

A crow’s broken wing

A bleeding arrowhead

Sickly and staunch

She buries herself

In the past

Her gravestone

Prematurely inscribed:

Lost in the web

Of starvation

And sorrow.
