#sol22 March 12 I Went Back

 

I was early,

Stayed in car,

Anxiety brewing,

Took a deep breath.

I was there

March 2020

Murmur of concerns,

Gums, Covid-19.

Bridges, implants,

Need regular maintenance,

Anxiety brewing,

Took a deep breath.

Should I have waited so long?

Would they berate my absence?

Could I handle bad news?

Anxiety brewing,

I took a deep breath.

"So good to see you," she said,

"I see you have been taking 

care of your teeth!"
