Desire

Katie Haemmerle

Ducks and geese swarm around
A pile of stale bread beside a lake.
Tearing the food to bits, clawing
At it, ripping, tearing.  Bestial actions.
This scares me, is this what we are?
We search for happiness.  So much
Searching.  But what do we really want?
Do we care? Maybe we are
Merely ducks feasting on bread.
