Gone
in the hips
hips don’t lie
mine tell a bitter truth
the human incongruity
good soup bones
they’d be
strong round forms
the flimsy engineering
of the straps
and ties beneath
pinging like knicker elastic
now
bed
and
not the fun bed
is the belonging place
for me
ReplyDeleteyou can't replace hips
like you can ships
may yours always
support you
and remain safely in port
hippie!
ReplyDeleteLove the soup bone and pinging knicker elastic images Kerri - and the insights to a chronic condition. Wishing you a better day.
