I Burned My Tongue
hot gravy oozing over meat
scorched the centre
now it’s rough with tender pain
sometimes hunger does that –
brings a biting, hasty excitement
scarring a song of soreness
on a body part for further harkening
I roll my tongue under my
front teeth, try to lift the tantrummed tissue
will my speech be different today –
smouldering in yesterday’s haughty hunger?

VANESSA SHIELDS, writer 
Hi Vanessa, I think there will be “ many sore tongues this year”. There’s too much hunger for food and fun, the “ good times”. I’ll do my best to be up for “ Yin “Tomorrow ,
