patience of Job

my grandmother used to tell my mom
"you have the patience of Job,"
as she sat picking snarls
from strands of necklaces.

my stomach is in knots
as I think back
to all of the times
why-not-maybe
became more common than yes. 

my heart
hunted the most dangerous game
I started saying yes
but my stomach is still in knots
