She left
and he started eating
small things at first
a photograph
that camping trip
the indention of her head
in the pillow.
It got worse
as all addictions do;
whole days were swallowed
without chewing
or tasting
until all the years
and memories
sat in his gut
undigested.
He died
they said it was
heart failure
but really
he had
starved to death.
