Twenty four arrests
in Nottingham Christmas market
teens with machetes

On a Rare Incidence in Sparring.
A simple move and one she had performed
a thousand times through oh-so-many years
to stop a sweep from guard which then deformed:
hyperextended elbow joint brought fears
and unexpected pain mid-spar and for
a sacred minute did they stop, assess
mobility and pain thresholds before
continuing to roll though under stress.
That night she drove while favouring her left
enjoyed some soup made by the one adored
but couldn't lift a cup of tea up to her head
and suffered through a night in which pain roared.
In morning time she gets a lift to A&E
where X-ray shows her arm now double fractured be.
