And You Never Saw Her Eat

Christine Stoddard

She admired the thinness of ghosts,
        their enviable two dimensions
        and their ability to evaporate
        like stars vanishing in the fog.
If only she were as flat as a flounder
        or a piece of blank parchment
        sleeping on a neglected desk,
        not even a splatter of ink to
puff it up by a millimeter.
She did not cook her vegetables
        or even entertain the
        mere thought of bread.
But you only ever heard her state

        these rules and habits,
        her daily meals as invisible

        as the boulder she bears.
