what flavor of yearning are you?

you feel it in every part of your being: numbing your bones, buzzing on the tips of your fingers like electricity.
it’s bitter on your tongue, but oh so sweet in your chest.
strip away your layers and look deep inside yourself—
how do you yearn?
let me reveal it to you.
