In Traction

Those horrible things you said Daggers in flesh That is already dead They serve to remind me That your pain Is greater than mine.

Hello Jeff :) The brain fog, she's thick today. Putting thoughts together and hitting the right keys a challenge. This piece held close. Mum said horrible shit when I was literally in traction. The hospital chaplain even offered to have her banned from visiting. I didn't, just wrote a poem about it years later. Ouch for you. Thank you! xomo
