Physical Therapy

First Verse
Twelve reps. Then twelve more, badly.
The body I had in April is a rumor now.

The therapist says progress is not a line,
it is a stairwell with a landing,
and I am on the landing, which counts.

I did not know I would have to learn
the same stairs twice. I did not know
the second learning would be the proud one.

First Verse
The stairwell with a landing. That reframed my whole week.
