steadfastness, after choosing

 




steadfastness, after choosing


 

remember when the choice you made

was the smallest of them all


and you clutched it in your pocket

and dug in your heals


and rode all the way home moving it

to be its own beating against your chest


which was also beating 

and it washed your face and hands


in its own surplice of benediction?
