A poem about a character from The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.
Brief summary for those who are not familiar with the series. There are 7 beings that are more god-like than actual gods. They are the embodiment of concepts that drive the universe and everything in it. The are personal manifestations of those concepts, but have their own personalities, Some of which clash with what they are meant to represent. For example, Death is the most chillest and full of life, and Destruction wants to create art.
I'm not going to get too into it, I suggest reading the comic series yourself. It is my all time favorite story.
This poem is about Desire, the most primal of all The Endless, but also the most sophisticated.
Although this character is the most problematic and vindictive, they also represent the most prominent part of every living organism. It doesn't have to be sexual. We desire food, shelter, entertainment conversation, solitude. It is both good and bad. But everyone wants something. Needs something. Not everyone wants to screw, but everyone needs to eat.
Hope you like it.
