bloated
I am famished.
Shall I stare
until my meals gone cold,
dispose of it like trash?
Or should I relish in the first bite,
the second,
the third,
until I’ve consumed it all
and there is nothing left
but crumbs of what was there before?
I ate too much.

I think it is true that we sometimes question if we are going to do something as we are actually doing it–human experience certainly is interesting, as is your writing. Thank you, Autumn.
This reminds me of the first meal after a Jewish funeral the Kaddish when the rabbi says – take this first bite and next and next. (Paraphrasing) so that the sweetness of life makes you eat and you continue. This is the meal of comfort.
