Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJK LMMI crave your mouth your voice your hair | A |
Silent and starving I prowl through the streets | B |
Bread does not nourish me dawn disrupts me all day | C |
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps | D |

hunting for you for your hot heart | M |
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue | M |
