Mikaela Castledine #137Just Riffing on a line from SH

I had no poems today so took Susan's line and just riffed along to see where it went. Thanks Susan!

the world is a poem

but mostly in the joints

synovial

they lubricate against friction

viscous they prevent

much rubbing on the raw

thick they cushion

to absorb  shock

and if they are drained dry

bone will strike bone

and a certain stiffness will set in

until we are inflexible

no longer able even

to hold a pen
