I heard a want,

A weary want

A want fatigued,

Having asked but

Not received.

But through that

Bloated, greedy

Want,

Glancing off

My ears like sleet,

I thought I heard a

Need.

I felt a need,

A desperate need

A need from

A lonesome heart

Begging without relief

And though that selfish

Want

I heard,

The need

I felt indeed.
