malnourished

by Rachelle Howe

even my
family
can see the
glow
that radiates
from eyes once sunken in

like a WWII victim
i am swollen in
malnutrition and
liquid-deprived starvation
but still
i am famished
for other reasons

for your skin
was the nourishment
that i needed
and craved
and thrived upon
for eons
and now,
that sustenance
is foreign
but craved
again...
