the careless words you drop are

pebbles pressing against each rib
defiantly defining itself underneath the dress

she won’t remove because she thinks
she has wobbly bits

her food disappears from her plate
but they don’t go in her

they don’t sustain her
just the sewers

I can’t convince her of ‘enough’
when you’ve limited her concept of beauty

and she doesn’t see that was who she was
before you came along and said otherwise
