This afternoon I was having one of my recovery sleeps after my elbow surgery, when I was suddenly woken by a violent summer storm, and in flash I wrote these words… and without a second thought of what I was writing or thinking, and without being bashful, here is my 5 minute poem
Arm Less
I’m arm less against the storms
Thoughtless in their violence
Voiceless is their silence
Boneless flesh that flood
Endless wars with blood
