You Heal
One morning you wake
and everything works
and almost nothing hurts.
After seven months of returning
and the surgery up through
your mouth, you even can focus.
After things happen, under the scarring
you heal. It takes its jagged course
upward and then
believe it or not,
so much for it,
and it is done
the chance of happening.
Then the heart of not
figuring a way back
just happens again
in the still world
like rain running the
skies and green becoming
the hand of the sun.
