eat
meat, or sugar, or bread,
or crackers,
or pasta
or cakes
or cookies, or eggs.
fish
on rare occasions,
but never
pig
or steak.
not a single mint
was in
her purse.
lips that touched
wine
would never touch hers.
i often worried,
as i helped her about,
when her
legs would
break
under 98 pounds of
trembling weight.
