by A.J. Huffman
house,
but mortar definitely runs
through
my veins, much needed
reinforcement
against invisible wolves
who
blow me down to foundation.
They
are confused by my solid
determination
to rebuild
myself
in a slightly harder shape.
Resigned
to this repetition,
I
peer through shadowed
fingers
of fate, waiting to see
if
this time I am enough,
if
this time I will hold.
