Arise Sciatica! Queen Of Pains!
Sometimes
I doth not know
My derriere
From my elbow
Hardly, forsooth
A funny bone
Doth ache so
Remains
A lesser beast
With such sciatic
Derriere pains
Oh!

Pain
The pain in my body;
Reflects that of my mind.
Chest tight,
Jaw clenched,
Could I leave it all behind?
Back aching,
Head pounding,
My thoughts resounding.
Skin torn,
Arms sore,
Is life worth it anymore?
Reflects that of my mind.
Chest tight,
Jaw clenched,
Could I leave it all behind?
Back aching,
Head pounding,
My thoughts resounding.
Skin torn,
Arms sore,
Is life worth it anymore?

Hiv hurts
Zip code
Some things we never forget
Risky poetry
I cried the first time
Pill addiction is like unavoidable prose
Once a day I thank God
Relaxing paranioa
No Fear

Wednesday morning sobbing on the floor of my home office
Everyone does this, right?
This is fine

Imprisoned
Crawls on arms, and
cramps in legs
Prickly, stained
paralysis.
Dance with nerves,
stretch with time,
she halts a body
in deceit.
Subtle movements,
weakened breath,
a clouded mind;
misunderstood.
Ails and ills,
a lifelong sentence.
Days roll forward.
Slow.
Repeat.

Because ...
We're not psychologically ready
Not biologically designed
nor emotionally strong enough
The distance will slaughter our futures
and destroy the earth
when a pandemic could have
...we are suicidal after all

life can get heavy
since my stroke I often feel unbalanced, and putting on my socks can be tricky, he said, weighing everything up

Not the intended recipient
But kid's room for a letter from my side
Her spine hurts and so do my sleep
Worry about the her health care

upon the road to rue
like the road's getting
narrower and darker and
doesn't seem to be going anywhere'll do ..
