patience

teach myself
patience

teach myself
patience

let it
fill the air
fill up my neck
come out
my mouth

patience

teach myself
resilience
teach myself
to dance

teach me
about me

teach myelf
patience

let it
roll out
from my shoulders
to my fingers

my patience
a soldier
in the shape of words
patiently waiting
for presence
