On Day Fifteen, I Know


on day fifteen, i know


on day fifteen, i know
it has to get
better because
on day fourteen, i could
not remember if i had
cried.

on day fifteen, i know
it has to get
better because
on day twelve, i noticed
how easy
it was becoming
to dress myself
in the morning.

on day fifteen, i know
it has to get
better because
on day ten, i could pick
up the phone and dial
out and across
the country
and breathe
before i whispered,
hello,
it’s me
before breaking.
