in every swivel of my pen

tenderness in every swivel of my pen, the curvature used to be alluring. it was thoughtless beauty, even in note form. now, even my index tap on the overused i-pad causes pain. ibuprofen and blue ice chisel at my wrist. i need a needle filled with panacea-ink to extend the life of my poetic thoughts. the doc sits around waiting for me to call? biding my time, hoping an eraser will correct the mistakes. panic set in as the doctor has a long list of dates. Dr. Darth Vader makes me wait on the death star. O, bend, wan, can, NO, be! a star wars laser cut off Luke’s hand…*

My dear Kim what I like in your poems as in this one, your imaginative runs riot and then you create gems. Hope your hand is much better I see beneath you have tendonitis - very painful but never stop using that magic pen . Be well dear friend, I had an Achilles Tendon, very sore for some time, hugs and blessings Jennifer
