As if anyone could prize
this happiness away!
You’d be better off trying
to pry away a snake’s fangs–
sometimes it seems as if
you don’t even know me.
I can’t be shamed–
this hunger is holy.

Vivid and yet concealed imagery. Wonderful!

I really love catching up on a bunch of your poems at once. And I really like this one, especially.
