Belly Up


Fat and content
and yet bemused
by the goddesses ways
with me
she laughs when I cry
I cry when I laugh
I live these days moment to moment
measuring it seems with
the number of times
I breathe to relax
the last stages of
my anxious youth
moving into my middle age
belly up
and somedays feeling
fat and content.
