Hungry 34

I like the sense of waiting and intrigue in this one. The word 'shame' raises questions that make the reader work after the poem is finished. The title and that one word make me believe the poem is about anorexia. (And the phrase 'stitches me to the ground' makes me think you may be a poet I know from a different context!)

One nit. I dislike the word 'never'. It seems superfluous in context too. I would want a word that works harder for its living - maybe 'unable'. Having said that I find the rest of the poem excellent, and the use of line breaks and space (eg befor the word 'or' masterly.
