tenderness comes at the end of May
petal'd visceral pink, helped along by the tiny pull of tiny things
fluttered ants of forgiveness
purchased at such a cost ....
yet, how familiar the scar tissue now
tight & full
restrictive
unyielding
how we learn to bend despite
to feel contentment despite
to love through to the other side
to open and not be defined by the brokenness
but
to define
by
the
fragility & lightness of being
so alive
so pink
