Pins and needles

Flicks and rolls,
It works in a wondrous way
Though some wish it would not obey
as the brain slowly tolls.

I enjoy how the lines flow
like they’re sought in the sky afar,
and though they leave the soul ajar,
it pays off what I owe.

As it aches slow and decadent
and helps litter my anatomy,
this is not a regret to me
as my pains are now evident.

Controlled by will
and yet none to be found
therefore no need to ground
what can be perfectly still.

The joint is my lover,
ligaments let the blood flow,
hidden and more on show,
all will be worn and washed over.

I have worked myself young,
creeks, grinds with naivety
skint with offers for prosperity,
so my wrist is what i have brung.
