Wild thing

WILD THING

You do your fierce
dance
ignoring jeers
thoughts of
failure

Saddle me up
insulate me to my
fragile
core

And when I yell
and cry that you're
not enough
too much
too large
You remind me - we are young again,
carefree
though never careless.

Ode to the belly
that stays
strong
endures
the waves of a lost and found
girl

Still playing
working
laughing
always
inside
me.
