malnourished by Rachelle Howeeven 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... 12/07/2001 Posted on 12/07/2001 Copyright © 2024 Rachelle Howe
