unclenching a fist

By Hannah Holbert

PROMPT — Who am I today?

I opened my hands, finally

and found that they are still soft

like the morning


I accepted the gift

of renewed warmth in my bones;

revival.


It shimmers through me like a prism

and hope

winds its way through my sorry thorns

until I can sing again-

and the sound tickles me

a giggle like dandelions


I can feel the sun smile on my face

Easter’s breeze through my hair

I am waiting to be found like

so many colors

my future is coiled within me—

and now my hands hold the Spring
