This war-time casualty exemplifies the unnecessary acts of war throughout the global community, and the catastrophic effects war has in a trauma-related injury upon the human body. Thank you to all the doctors and surgeons who work feverishly to ‘put us back together’ again.
There remains
a deadened,
freezing,
almost an anesthetizing
sense of dread
upon my fingertips and hands,
reaching deep into my legโs nerves,
shattered spinal cord,
peeled away
as one peels an orange.
Walking,
now a challenge,
con-fusion of the fusion,
cervical cord,
Ruptured and bruised,
arrogance of the humanity factor.
Pain
within the eyes
like lightning fingers
to the crown
of God.
