300 Calories
January 30, 2011
There are two thoughts nagging,
pulling
in the back of my mind.
I call them binging and purging,
and they haunt me.
I have a secret life of mirrors
reflecting lies, reflecting bones;
I am my own skeleton inside of my own closet.
I eat white porcelain for supper,
I eat blue pills for lunch.
I cry my feelings into the laps of two men;
Ben and Jerry, because they listen best.
Then when I’m done
I can stow them in the icebox
and feel satisfied that they’ve got no faces.
I am hungry.
I am empty.
I am nothing.
