I want to eat my life


I want eat my life
—Olga Broumas, "If I Yes", Gift of Tongues

I want to eat my life
written June th, 2021

I
me, us, we
he, she, they
singular
plural
all of us
all of me.
I

want
that aching sensual word
not the bare factualness of need
something born in the soul
it takes hope want
and incredible bravery.
I want

eat
slowly like little bites of chocolate
then voraciously like melting ice cream
all of it - every last bite
because it is my favorite thing in the world.
I want eat

my
mine - not borrowed -
not shared - not apologized for -
not stolen - not ashamed of -
not asked for - begged for - pleaded for
mine.
I want to eat my

life
I want to love it - build it -
want it - claim it - live it fully
from top to bottom and side to side
every inch of it known, explored and claimed.
I want to eat my life.

It really does take hope to want, and to write. One of my goals, is to edit less of myself out of my poems. Thank you for reading me, and commenting. It means so much.
