Famine’s Home

Ashlyn Thomas

Poetry Editor

I am without a home
I am with thin and rotting life
Where shall I write to thee?
I am clinging and needful
Famine is my name
Lovely decay befall thee!

Beautiful decay!
Lovely decay with thin and rotting life,
Lovely decay I call thee.
Thou will frown
I mourn all the same
Sweet decay befall thee.
