mellomjul
the void between Christmas and New Year
overdrawn

This catalogue of my body's latest fails
grieves me more than perhaps it really should
for do I not enjoy the health that tales
are written of, wherin the hero could
bemoan their ills, yet carry on to win
through such adversity to then achieve
their goal at two-thirds of the book but then
face torments more as readers disbelieve.
Thus it is with I, where broken elbow sings
in pain and knees still hurt from lunges done
whilst learning sword for years yet long they bring
a limp with ankle twisted sore upon the road.
Now lacerated fingers add to all my woes
but cheerful I remain, for I have safe repose.
