Xenical Miracle
January 28, 2019
YOU AREN’T SICK;
you’re an inspiration.
Pounds upon pounds
gone without sensation
Shattering screams become breezes
Searching for a silhouette to appease his
Empty stomach, crowded mind, full spirit
A lack of inches brought me closer to it
Ingenuine inquiries echo
jostling your soul,
synapses grow slow
Revising goodbyes, cleaning your room.
All before spring
came into bloom
