Reaction; re-enactment
Translucent stress; ditto
Empty eyes behind; some pain experienced
on movement
Reach; come forward
Unburden the unapparent
No abnormality detected; but she passed out
Nothing to report; but she can't get out of bed
These echoed grievances sink into roughshod walls
where twisted roots replace themselves
like pop-up pegs that don't stay down
when smashed with the hammer
Altered reflex; no responsible blame
Call physio; fetch crutches; devoid
Oil the wheels of life's rolator frame
Build up those arms for wheelchair mobility
I am facing my potential self
in small, virulent, newborn form
The prescription stays the same
A photo framed with furrowed brow
and abandoned poses; depleted
and still I cannot relive
it differently
