Chic Atelli

The New Woman

Starving - gnawing - biting
Tasting the germs
Tasting the skin
Tasting the nails
Satisfying hunger
The stomach
Gurgling from acid
Gurgling from pain
hunger pain
starvation pain
Thin is in
pain is beauty
beauty is pain
Bone tone
No skin tone
Lick the bones
not the flesh
The flesh is personal
to feed the hunger
Gurgling emaciated stomach
flesh and fingernails
give bone tone
The hands feed
The new woman


Chic Atelli says she spends most of her time observing the world around her and writing down observations.
