and what of the days that are filled
with impossible greyness?
when every movement is governed
by flaring pain that lingers
uninvited?
what if it hurts to breathe?
days like these, i have found
no grace in ignoring
what my body has to say
no strength in holding
my life to deadlines
as if i were a project
to be managed
instead
i gather myself in silk
feed my soul warmth
knowing that light
is on its way
