THE HUNGER POSE

There’s no contortion
like stomach touching back

a nothingness nobody strives for
but everybody thinks they understand

And they

talkin’ bout
be grateful for your breath
Talkin’ bout
focus on being present in your breathing
Talkin’ bout hold steady
a little while longer
a little while longer
hold it
hold it

while nothingness rumbles
a response
a growl

in you

talkin’ bout
what you talkin’ bout

and what kinda yoga
is this anyway?
