Anorexia Poem by Udaya R. Tennakoon

Anorexia



The smell sprays spreading
Of delicious food
From a palace above

In a poor hut bellow
Smoke of boiling water
Potatoes for hunger

Servants chivvy
Serving variety of tastes

Empty plates wait
Impatient children yawn

Sound waves of two cries prang together
One for hunger
One for objection
