(pains And Regrets Collection) Anorexia Poem by Janice Windle
(pains And Regrets Collection) Anorexia
When did her will to resist
shift, become
obsessive resistance?
Implacably
pushed aside,
the outsiders could only watch
as every day
their daughter
wilfully,
visibly,
shrank
away.
Janice, this is very poweful sad poem. I like the row definition you give to the parents - they suddenly become 'outsiders, pushed aside' helpless watching as every day their daughter...shrank away. Wonderful poem - I like the form and the way you drown a cry. Great poem! Regards, one
