LEST THE WILD BEASTS GROW
And they already have,
thicker
around the
middle,
no amount
of carb-free
anything
dwindling
the space
above
the hips.
Numbers?
Sure.
But then
keep looking
at the middle,
the soft,
thick,
fatness
that cakes
the organs
and squeezes
them tight
like a father's
arms hugging,
a father
they've never
known.
