rejuvenation of the to do list
quietly assembling itself
as the cat lies curled up on the chair
like a reinstated grid
borrowed from work life
to cut across the shards of pain
diagonal like lasers
feelings felt physically
blunted by the sledgehammer
of painkillers
that's it ... living, like (hard) work
ReplyDeleteI like " the reinstated grid" - really evocative poem.
