In On It
Once I was thin, relatively, I think,
I don't know
but by comparison, not at all.
When they said I was "healthy"
it was a joke I wasn't in on,
a frog in my cereal,
maggots in my macaroni,
it was the taste of iron
in every bite
I wanted to be relative, I wanted to be thin
by comparison, thinner and shrink wrapped
so tight, so smooth, my bones were clutching
skin around them like a blanket
in a storm
And then I was thin, and the hollow mapped
out my sinew, and praise filled...
I don't know
but by comparison, not at all.
When they said I was "healthy"
it was a joke I wasn't in on,
a frog in my cereal,
maggots in my macaroni,
it was the taste of iron
in every bite
I wanted to be relative, I wanted to be thin
by comparison, thinner and shrink wrapped
so tight, so smooth, my bones were clutching
skin around them like a blanket
in a storm
And then I was thin, and the hollow mapped
out my sinew, and praise filled...

Exhausted
Watching body positive media for me is like putting a band aid on a much deeper cut. It's comforting for the moment, but isn't a quick fix.
Trying on a pair of shorts yesterday that were tighter than usual, I still find that I'm triggered deeply by things like this happening. My perfectionist tendencies want to still go haywire. While I didn't fully panic, I still subconsciously was feeling helpless about it.
Hurricane Beryl hit here in Texas and made our power go out. My mom and I share one car, and more than one time, my mom would be gone with it before I even got up....

N/A
to each their own mission;
through human condition;
most want a million dollars;
I want a meal, and you;
just living in another land;
nothing "other than" comes true;
most want forty arcres and a mule;
one no longer wants to be an overused tool....
staring down one's reflection in a pool;
one just wants the spoon, when the chilly arrives;
the only thing that seems real....
...

& it still is...
this is my story
...not a human experience absolute
but it was never about food
or appetite...or lack thereof
it's imperative you understand
no...
it was much more than that
a desperate need for the one damn thing
sorely lacking in my life
something stolen before I knew it was needed
...or that it even existed
an elusive slippery kind of concept
information...without proof
& I could not comprehend...
...something I'd never had
so I created my own version
refusing to eat what I was...
