Old wounds acting up today
physical reminder of deeper things.
Broken finger
recalling crying
wedding band cutoff,
more crying
having set alone in a room so long
having been with him too long.
Knowing this even then.
Eight stitches
joint of the thumb, cut
washing dishes, the anger
(not mine)
missing his race.
The pain of severed nerves.
The pain of disbelief.
Pulled Achilles tendon
Left heel, driving
a stick anyway
other option? His truck.
The healing taking longer
The retreat just beginning.
Things from my marriage...
