How To Build Up An Iron Stomach By Jenn Shelton

I kept no watch nor waited for them to produce 
For I am the hunter because I’ve learned once 
Once 
From being the hunted 

From being the hunted 
the clown 
the object of fascination 

I kept no watch 
only contentment in my heart 
Compassion at the arcs of my shoulders 

For I am the arc, the passion
the unwise 
Yet: Look at my long hair. I must be free.
