Disordered

There used to be more to you-
or maybe less, to me.

You never knew what to eat-
dimpled orange peel skin
curdled cottage cheese
bruised soft peach bodies-

Or how to fend for yourself.
Even if you begged me to stop
I wasn't listening-

My mind:
blind, deaf. and dumb-
I stole the life out of you-

or maybe, I'm not sure.
It was a group effort.

Teeth eroded by acid and left
Completely transparent-

as far as I can tell.
The marrow and the cavities

of your stomach
