Quite Wrecked

 

 

QUITE WRECKED

 

quite wrecked this morning

a generalized aching

discomfort

 

all organs

muscles, bones and skin

unhappy with their allocated place

 

In the bodies scheme

sadly I cannot lay the blame

on any over-indulgence

 

 

Malcolm Evison – 30^th May 2024

Night's Torments - a hasty first draft - an instant response

A Write to Overcome!

 A WRITE TO OVERCOME! *

An all encompassing hollow ache

resonates with nauseating discomfort;

both mind and body scream aloud,

enforcing tears upon an erstwhile stoic frame.

No knowledge can determine

whether these tears, yelled expletives

or vocalized profanities,

none of which were hoped for,

can proffer relief. The question stands

unanswered, by any reasoned response,

how best to cope with the inexplicable,

opioid defying, prolonged aching pain;

there is no where

or way to turn,

one simply endures

until the next reprieve.

*also a RITE and/or a RIGHT but firstly the WRITE is for a purpose

dis-ease is everywhere - a new illustrated poem

this is fresh off the press - both the poem and the illustrated version here were sculpted this very day!

this poem is straight off the press - one of those rare occasions when the words gave themselves in a relatively short space of time. Expressing my current state of discomfort and dis-ease in some ways enables me to cope better with this frustrating ailment (moderate ME - myalgic encephalomyelitis)
