Ramen Lament MAG
My heart is empty
As I finish the last noodle.
My hunger will return
All too soon.
I’ll go to the bellowing cupboard
And open it wide.
Let the warm sunlight drown the scene
And see the lonely place
Where my ramen used to be.
Boiling water over 10-cent noodles
The taste not as savory
As the 700 yen ramen
Steaming at a small shop in Japan.
The veggies and chunks of meat,
Juicy with delight.
The flavor strong,
Giving my nose reason
To make my mouth smile.
Here I will wait,
So lonely without
Something that fills
The empty space
In both my stomach
And my heart.
