She breathes in
and mellows out,
counts to ten
before beginning again,
touches her toes
and bunny wiggles her nose
trying to shift the memories
which have let themselves in,
to test her poise, her balance
and power, to laud over words
she used to believe for hours.
She breathes in
and mellows out,
hums the tune which always
drowns him out,
twirls on her toes
until he leaves
and she breathes,
blows the gathering clouds away,
to come back another day.
In response to day 14: balance, #rainasmprompts
