Sorry to be a bit late with this comment.
Love the idea and most of the poem.
While it probably has a personal resonance for you, the piece that jars is
"the way food tries to eat me", it smacks of reference to one of the current
diet fads.
Best
Roger.

This poem is not about Death,
nor about the unravelling of light.
This poem is not about God
and the persistence of revision.
This poem is not about the Earth,
its green-blue presence in the dark.
This poem is not about my body
and the way food tries to eat me.
This poem is about something
I do not wish to consider - like
confessions of impermanence,
shifts in stress, the sliced corners
of my sight.
