Enemy

a haiku

Allergies in food many friends turned enemies garlic is my foe

Unfortunately, my food allergies exploded during the pandemic, leading to other digestive issues that still plague me nearly a year later. So many wonderful foods and spices are now off-limits to me. Food holds no interest anymore. In fact, I’d prefer to eat nothing at all than to eat only what I can.

When food tries to kill you, eating feels like sleeping with the enemy.
