Trust
It came to me on the granite staircases of the Getty Museum.
With one leg extended, the other bent in painful descent.
It was a revelation.
I saw it clearly in my head in slow motion.
It was trust.
Trust was the relationship I had with my legs.
Not the naivety of first love,
but mature, like a lover betrayed.
I wanted more than anything to believe in them,
knowing all along they could fail me again.
Trust.
Awareness struck me in the face like a fist.
Made me off balance.
Trust was palpable...
I felt it in my bones as I continued down the granite stairs.
With every step I trusted,
like a woman in love
no matter how much it hurt.
