Thin as Broth

World Hunger Relief


Thin as Broth

Hunger is a quiet vandal,rearranging the furniture of your insides,unscrewing patience from its hinges.
It turns the world edible—billboards, daylight, the smell of hope—until your thoughts thin to broth
and your body becomesa cathedralringing with an empty bell.
