I’m Ready For My New Hip Now

I think I have finally forgiven

My old hip for all those years of pain

My mother for her hesitation
to carry me in a time of war

My father for the crushings
between the baler and the shed
and between his will and mine

And have taken also
the first small steps toward gratitude
for how far all three have carried me
