Vomit on Paper … Spirit Purged… 2005

Ingesting life's joys and sorrows;
Bitter-sweet; life fills my plate. I devour each moment presented to me.
No matter how early or late.

Sorrow calls me on the telephone.
Joy arrives at dawn each day.
So as not to insult the chef,
I sample each dish that comes my way.

As a child, I sought out sweet desserts
To satisfy my hunger.
In adolescence, I craved the taboo tastes
That I crave, no longer.

I drank from tears, lies bit my tongue;
Yet I groped and hungered still.
I even stole sadness from those that I loved
And it devoured it of my own free will.

I hid in my words while binging on life.
All along, knowing that sooner or later
I'd begin purging my spirit with elation, dismay;
And calling it, Vomit on Paper…
