Whisper to the wind
And call out to the world
Who I am.
Breathe in my name
Because it’s the last breath you’ll take.
Choke and stumble on the words
As you try to push them back up from your mouth.
Pull your hair back
Stick your fist down your throat
Vomit up the pool of words.
You’re done now.
It’s over.
It’s out.
But didn’t you just do
What you accused me of?
‘Bulimia,’ you called it.
So I guess it’s time for my turn.
I’ll whisper to the wind
And call out the world
Who I really am
This time,
I’ll breathe in your name
Because it’s the last breath I’ll ever take.
But I won’t choke and stumble upon words;
They slide down my esophagus with perfection.
My hair will rest perfectly on my shoulders
And my hands will finger lent in my pockets
The words are balanced in my stomach.
I’m done now.
It’s over.
It’s in.
Look who’s the bulimic now.
