feed me one of your poems


to me, heartbreak is a stomach ache.
it's that
pit of your very being
that
feeling you get
as you cross the threshold--
that
first drop of a

rattling cage.

my stomach was never very far from my heart. I feel sick whenever my heart starts to throb. It reminds me to eat, my heartbreak.

Food never filled my heart, but I am my mother’s child, and I eat at the behest of my heart.

to abet.
