After a good, long day
I feel muscles that I had forgotten
Muscles I took for granted
Muscles that have worked for me
Without question
For decades
After these many, good long days
I am grateful for
this intricate webbing,
this abundance of organic fibres,
this marvellously woven network
that holds me strong
that supports me
no matter what I choose to do
whether I fall or run or walk
These muscles message me
When they are stretched
too far, too fast or too quickly ~
for that I am also grateful.
“She is a woman of muscle twisted around bone.”
~ Veronica Roth, Allegiant
