My body is too liberal
to be flavor. It's spread too thin.
I can no longer blanket love,

that angled adolescent form
that shivers in the dark
or when alone. I am an anorexic heat,

a paper fire, flames
wild but useless and soon out.
But dig my crumbled ash

into unfertile ground, water
carefully, and look how many weeds
I nuture, grow.

'My body is too liberal

to be flavor.' What a great opening line and amazingly as I read on I kept bumping into even more amazing lines. My favorite, 'I am an anorexic heat,

a paper fire, flames

wild but useless and soon out.'

haunting

I cannot explain exactly why, but it touches me deep inside.

i have enjoyed your work.

choosing to be yourself

Very intereting imagery. I particularly loved the two closing stanzas. The ironic use of 'negative' images supports an experienced and sober maybe alone but not lonely sole.
