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?
