Within
The women in my family
may wobble like gelatin
on the outside,
quiver with fear
and even cower
in sight of chaos
and affliction,
but deep within the cherry goo
lies a backbone strong as steel
and determination
to do what it takes to help,
to love, to thrive, to win.
First line from “Eating the Bones” by Ellen Bass
