East of Eden

Lord, I know you were hungry
as I am hungry now
none of it is strange to you:
the desert, or the crowds
and maybe this same wilderness
has been home to us all.
But you know hunger, Lord:
you know the angry ache
you know the horror of the night
when you're the only one awake
I'm lost in this desert: please show me
which way to take.
