Anorexia Emaciation Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Anorexia Emaciation



Anorexic line schemes superficial.
No leeway as will o'whi[s]p as mannequin
Yearns for frustration's runway vent too thin
Wedge won't table. Supper intersticial
Hear[t] tempts as self-contempt squares artificial
Energy burn, spurns calory litter bin.
Rewards seem self-destructive not win-win,
Excuse obtuse to sense starve. Maleficial.
A vicious circle, virtual victual,
No little trouble gives. Perceptions spin,
Yet edit diet tide tied to angels' pin,
Or pinpoint swift necrology official.
Need feeds feed's needs, gaunt, haggard, skinny, lean,
Emasculated: still seeks pastures green.
