Chutzpah
October 3, 2018
Courage kissed me as if
We needed each other to survive,
And maybe we did.
When I rose from my seat and my knees knocked,
I was certain the whole city heard:
Bone clacking on bone,
Just like my chattering teeth.
But still I rose, and
Chutzpah held my hand, warmer than
The fear that held me back.

Chutzpah:
Chutzpah is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word ḥutspâ, meaning "insolence", "cheek" or "audacity". (Wikipedia)
