Return
So many rounds
breaking
apart coming together
could be feelings or aging—
similar weather
messy, sloppy, painful
The turn
between unraveling
and regathering
may seem glacially slow
Weeks of using a cane
three different pills for pain
Friends are kind
but I face this alone
Then this morning,
a change felt inside
before anything seen
A note, now noticed
of coming together
That quiet shift inside happens just when the body feels most alone, Didi. It brings so much peace to hear that the regathering has finally started for you.
The unraveling, the regathering, the relief of "a note, now noticed / of coming together." Wonderfully done, Amrita!
