Bulimia
Two girlfriends borrow each other’s heart,
and apply polish on their nails which smell of vomit. They tighten each other’s belt,
swap blank pads
write down the house rules with knives
on the skin of their hips.
This house
was never ours. We inhabit it
tiptoeing, and wiping each other remains of our tears
before sleeping in order not to stain our pillows
with sadness. To stain our breasts with guilt, however, isn’t
a big deal anymore.
