Questions What do I know of hunger? They say the starving dream of food. I heard Depression era stories My mother’s painful account: days with nothing to eat. I confused her with Cinderella. What do I know of hunger? They say the starving dream of food. There were childhood commandments My father’s admonition: please finish everything on the plate. There were children in Europe with nothing. What do I know of hunger? In dreams I see old lovers, old cities, I fall from trees and mountains, Forget exams, speeches, names of others. They say the starving dream of food. What is the difference between hunger And starvation? A few days, a week or so? A difference in dreams, perhaps? Here is a video of Judith reading her poem. Judith R. Robinson is a poet and visual artist from Pittsburgh, Pa.
