Contributor Series 8: Feast and Famine, Your Repast

Contributor Series 8: Feast and Famine
Your Repast
By Bobbie Troy

i no longer
gorge myself on your soul
i no longer
feast upon your body

i no longer taste
your lingering lips
i no longer feed 
upon your repast

i bear my loneliness 
like an empty plate
that carries your shadow
to my table


Bobbie Troy's poem Old Bones appeared at vox poetica in December 2010 as part of Contributor Series 7: The Confessional Diary of Bone.
