Draped in gold too loose for her frame, Famine enters softly, with empty cupboards and thinning light. She smiles with painted lips and hollow eyes, radiant in the elegance of wanting. She takes not in violence, but in increments — one harvest less, one promise broken, one more night spent wanting. Beneath her gaze abundance forgets how to grow and joy becomes a memory told in smaller portions each year. She is desire stretched into suffering, hunger made divine. Tables groan empty after she leaves, and even laughter sounds thinner in her presence. She is the goddess of yearning, who turns plenty into memory and satisfaction into myth.
