Hungry MAG
smooth skin
stretched over bones
no room
for anything
at all
just nothing
just air
but, oh,
air might
have calories
stomach muscles
smack her backbone
ribs are like curtains
hanging over a
canyon of a belly button
she smiles at her reflection
at the smooth skin
at the missing fat
she is sososososo proud
too proud
lunch lunch lunch lunch
the voice echoes
in her head
noises yel l l l l l
asking ... begging ... pleading ... for food
a HAND smacks
the thought away
far, far, far away
a pea, maybe
a sip of juice, maybe
up to the WC
no more peas
no more juice
just nothing
just air
sososososos o hungry
nonononono food
willpower is a higher source
to be worshipped
iwon'teat ... iwon'teat ... iwon'teat ... just one more day ...
just one more day ... iwon'teatiwon'teatiwon'teat ...
