An evocative body poem, as Meher describes it, exclusively for Different Truths.

I live at the mercy of a liver
that dictates what I can eat
what I can’t drink
even determines
the colour of
my skin.
 
Have a field day, fiend!
 
Force me to see
with a jaundiced eye.
 
The trouble is, I need
your cooperation
to survive.
 
But by obeying
I can shrink you
back to size.
