Alright dear readers, another poem by yours truly. Enjoy.

Thirteen Days
Sometimes it’s hard to believe
you’ve only been gone
thirteen days.
With my days giving way
to empty nights
time has lagged.
Thankfully I don’t suffer
the insomnia that plagues you.
Instead I simply forget to eat,
pounds falling fron my frame
like water, until fully clothed
I reach a number
I haven’t seen since my teenage years.
Until my hip bones jut out,
become hooks for the pants
that threaten to slide off,
and my collar bones
become sharp lines
across my chest.
And it’s only been thirteen days.
