Elbow

just feeling disconnected from life....even though so much is moving and happening around me.

The inside of my elbow

Aches

Broken down from bumping against

Noggins and souls

And somewhere in the midst of it all

Bones dislocated themselves

As if looking for another place to live

No cream no salve no pill,

You could give,

Could bring wholeness to this disjointed hurt

Deep

And quiet

And deadly

Or so it feels

 

The ache awakens the hollow parts

I thought were once filled

Now seeing the substance never sealed

And I lay as a victim

Of leaky wounds

 

Wrap me in your miracle, oh God

I need bone to replace bone

So cancer can be healed

And joint find ligament find tissue find strength

And move like dancing in the rain

 

I flee the pain

from my decay

Wow! This piece is lovely, the image you painted and the theme infused in it really stands out. I love the flow wow!.

I love the lines of the last stanza
"Wrap me in your miracle, oh God
I need bone to replace bone
So cancer can be healed
And joint find ligament find tissue find strength
And move like dancing in the rain
 
I flee the pain
from my decay"

I need to go read more of your writings, this is lovely.
