the hook

i've discovered a hook
lodged in my right hip
tucked inside the pelvic bone
radiating pain
up and down
in kidneys
stomach
liver

locking up lower back
impossible to exercise
walk

run ha!

couldnt even sleep
nurofen
that's relief
but only for a day or two

panadol
that worked
but only at first

chiro x 2
doctor x 2
chinese doctor x 1
chiro x 1

mild healing

somatic
lisa friese
suggests
something

it's diabolical
i dismiss at first thought
then i bathe in the idea
give it a mental run
lo and behold

relief

oh holy giver of neurosis
you taketh away

pain diminishes - banished by thought

leaving behind
one hell of a thought to ponder
