Better and Better
I overheard my bones reading poems
On how to break a fall
And I caught my arms lookin up a recipe
For how to hold it all
And if I could hold my anger
Where in the world would I carry it to
Forgiving myself
Is the most I can do
And it still holds true the quiet ones
Have a lot to say
And now that my heart is talking again
I just try to stay out of her way
I’m getting better and better at knowing
When a word tastes true
That’s what I’m trying for these days
It’s the most I can do
I’m getting better and better and better and better
I’m getting better and better and better and better
And there is a rest that bones only begin to understand
When a body stops living like an answer to a man
I’m getting better and better at knowing I don’t owe a thing to you
I’m taking care of myself, it’s the most I can do
by Maya Elizabeth de Vitry, BMI
