Making Up After Decades Together

1 Tangled legs 
2 under bed sheets
3 hide us
4 hold us
5 away from the world.
6
7 Tangled legs
8 mend fraying
9 patience
10 and smooth
11 harsh words.
12
13 Sorry is said 
14 in toes 
15 softly caressing
16 soles that hear 
17 words they deserve.
18
19 Toes talk 
20 of worthiness,
21 and calves blush
22 as they feel seen 
23 for the strength
24 it takes to carry 
25 the world.
