Poetry (4) Hunger
The feeling of hunger was so real, like a hole in his body, tearing at himself all the time, making him unable to think.
He needed food, and before that everything else was meaningless.
As for why he needs food to survive, he doesn't need to know, he was born like this, he has grown up to the present after absorbing the energy in the white fruit, and he knows that it will be so in the future.
He was tired and unwilling to think about it, looking at the white fruit that had dimmed, but he had to continue to suck the energy into it.
Yes, the energy of the fruit is running out, it has not been replenished for too long.
It's not that he doesn't want to, after turning over every inch of the five mountains, he has to admit that there will be no harvest this time, and he has consumed too much energy in the past few days to find new white fruits.
He didn't want to wait.
He didn't even understand why he was waiting, only that in the long search he had heard from others that he must only suck the energy from the white fruit when he could not bear it at last.
He believed in this word of mouth, there were a few times when he even lost consciousness due to excessive hunger, of course he would not be starved to death, in fact he could not be starved to death, and every last moment the white fruit would definitely input energy into his body.
It's just that almost no one can bear this process, and he also doubts that if it weren't for the loss of meaning, the sober self would really be able to survive to the end.
In fact, there are many things he doesn't know, and even the white fruit that accompanies him day and night by his side can't be said to know much.
why it doesn't need energy and has to keep sucking it up; why it doesn't know hunger, but it does; They came to this world together, why are they different in the same world, why is it that in the same world it does not feel hungry but can also complete the flow of energy, while he can't, he can only be passively given.
He had heard people say that when they were not replenished and eventually exhausted, they would become one with the white fruit, and then a new life would be born.
So is it that they were originally one, and there is no difference.
It must be because you are too greedy that you need food, you will have hunger, and you will never abandon the white fruits, because they are one.
One day, he himself will be like this white fruit beside him, and he will not need food, he will not be hungry.
It seems that people have heard that there is a legend that there will be such a day, but not yet, so he must continue to gulp the energy in the white fruit!
