Broken Rice Bowl

Broken rice bowl, 
Leaking salt water porridge, 
Awaken hungry howling owl, 
Stout bloated growling belly, 
Awaiting shooting stars, 
One worm wish pledge, 
To grow as a butterfly, 
Let suck flower nectar, 
One other worm wish pledge, 
To die as a flesh, 
Let flesh feed earth soil, 
Bless to rest in peace, 
Hunger of bloated belly..

Imagining the mind of an African bloated belly boy stranded in hunger between life and death. He might wish for both.....
