when will it come?
I fight against succumbing to impatience
for a hard display
of solid buoyant evidence
of glad recovery from my stroke’s
dulling of my limbs
that threatens my composure every day
They are, I feel,
when valuating morning comes
too slight, too far away.
And I am daily left unsatisfied and drained
And so I ask, “How long will I refrain,
sustain my will,
in light of this unsubtle bleakening,
from giving in
and then admitting that I am undone?”.
