Five days spent sitting very still because you hurt yourself doing something stupid; try not overthinking it.

Day 1: Sprain

Time is short to dwell
Until the inner tear swell
Perspective is gained

Day 2: Friend

Let me take your pain
I have far more teeth to grit
Let me let you rest

Day 3: Limp

Do not recognize
The freedom stored below thighs
Clarity when lost

Day 4: Bruise

Indigo erupts
Can’t escape without a mark
Pain fades, bruise remains

Day 5: Body

You are built of parts
Easy to disassemble
Easy to forget
