I
ask myself
who often knows
what
I am too eager
to admit
if
it is time
yet
to enter the stone
I can't wait
to transform
but myself
who
I am beginning
to trust
in matters of timing
says
with tenderness
understanding my longing
no
not quite yet
but
very soon
and
the energy that jigs
down my legs
helps reassure me
that
I will walk again.
