Read "it's this way and answer the question
it's this way
by nazim hikmet
1 i stand in the advancing light,
my hands hungry, the world beautiful
2 my eyes can't get enough of the trees-
they're so hopeful, so green

4 i can't smell the medicines-
carnations must be blooming nearby
5
it's this way

what is the probable connotation of the speaker's "hungry hands in stanza 1?

they are starving for food because the speaker is badly nourished
they are determined to advance freedom because the speaker has been confined.
they are set on revenge because the speaker has been captured
