POEM – Relearning How to Walk

I’m relearning how to walk

I’m Bambi on ice

The balance is less than steady

The surface slick and wet

I took a shower

Bestie was there to fill the empty space

I washed my hair by myself

I’m relearning how to walk

I laid in the bed

Sounds of your snores mixed in with Luke’s

Sleep came in short shifts

I’m relearning how to walk

I cooked breakfast

Days of taking out ingredients

Then putting them back uncooked

I’m relearning how to walk

I drove in the car

Music was playing instead of loud silence

Just one safe song on repeat

I’m relearning how to walk

I haven’t done the store

The bar or a concert

Those things are too slippery

I’m relearning how to walk
