Pound of Flesh | Wanda Morrow Clevenger

someone asked after
my missing
pound of flesh

I have as much right
as the next

to filet my enemy
hang the carcass
full view

curse spit stomp
in holy holy
amen

give as good

but there was no
pressing need
I had already excused
myself
from the exertion

my enemy was his own
