full of coins

hunger is sometimes preferable to loneliness.

a stomach will twist-

but hands become dirty and heavy when full of coins.

    Amazing how much can be said--quite beautifully--in so few words.

    Amy,

    Very real words. Loneliness can be hidden and difficult to satisfy.

    Yes... there is a burden associated with possessions, with stewardship. Terrific, Amy!

    True. The wealthier we become, the more we lose.

    I loved the piece for the groovy somersault it gave my brain, but once it settled and I thought more I'm not certain if I completely understand your logos- thankfully though I don't have to! Peace.
