Assessing Joints
Swollen knees bring
fears of blocked tubes --
harbingers of destruction,
cold limbs, looming amputations.
Swollen knees bring
alternate explanations for pain –
cysts maybe? fears subside.
maybe just an infection…
Swollen knees bring
reminders of aging frames.
age-related deterioration,
speaks of a well-ripened life.
Swollen knees bring
streams of gratitude for
the many things knees can do.
joints of thanksgiving breaking through…
