Eat, Pray, and Love Some More
Such longing,
such effort, such accomplishment,
one adventure
after another, always striving
for new becoming, and happiness came
when she dared
to walk away from
the life she
had created, —
An exotic
flavor, a new life and new beginning,
and love flowed
from the horn of limitless
plenty, but
more of the same bred ennui
and she walked
away again to satisfy
her deepest longing,
—
Onward outward
forward, looking, looking,
looking for the
magic elixir of her life’s meaning,
purpose-driven
to find a way through the eye
of the needle—heavenly kingdom of pure bliss,
desireless desire, her key to freedom,
—
And destiny
came calling once more, as life is wont
to do: hair
intervention with a strange new creature,
lesbian hair dresser,
gifted musician, former addict
and dispossessed,
a long way from safety and
security; and
she fell in love again with
an erotic new
flavor, —
On the edge once
more, staring into the abyss
of heavenly bliss,
all of her instincts screaming
NO! to her
feverish longing, but too fat to squeeze
through the eye
of the needle she now waits in
spiritual
dis-ease for the merciful law of life
to call again
to save her from herself.
