trying just to try
Aching bones like over-loaded levees
creaking and cracking
in triumphant tribulation,
trying just to try.
Sinews whisper sweet encouragement
to tighten and
rise.
While desperate digits
fumble in frailty,
trying just to try.
Palatable prayers
aware in their awakening
ignore the ignominy,
trying just to try.
