Magdalena Number 7

"MAGDALENA #7"



it's been three days since I've eaten. 
today, 
for some unknown reason, 
I wanted a maple bar.
I got up, 
grabbed a smoke and walked to the doughnut shop up the way.
I messaged Magdalena and told her where I was going. 
"you and your damn maple bars. 
why haven't you eaten?"
"I don't know," 
I said. 
"that hunger just hit from out of nowhere."
"you need to eat," 
she said.
"a coke and a maple isn't food. 
it's junk."
it was good to be looked after,
no way I could tell her why I wasn't eating. 
all I needed, 
was a little of her at that very moment to remind me why, 
I shouldn't leave this earth.
