Her Story

 “As long as you can find yourself, you will never starve”

Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games

She can find herself

She knows the way

She has been hungry

Gluttonous too

Ups and downs

At family gatherings

her siblings would not

include her in their chatter

She

a pillar of salt

She stopped going

Stop!

Enough

wallowing

There were good times-

acting as a stand up comedian

in aide of good health

Her audience laughed - got well-

there were hundreds

Trekking the Little Sandy Desert-

red dust, frogs in the cistern

More,,,

Now?

She is a league of one

still

wandering in the

shadowlands
