The world feels off kilter
I’m spinning…..round and round
Every time I lift my head
The snow descends, engulfs me
At times it overwhelms me
And then, bang, down I fall.
Falling, falling, twisting down
How long it takes to reach the ground
Slow motion into blackness
Nothingness
Painless
Floating.
Pain, pain, pain
Why am I on the ground?
A twist here and a bend there
Limbs entangled, joints at angles
Unnatural, except for me
Stretch and snap is the norm.
Salt, water; water, salt
Compression to limbs.
Like an autumn leaf
I fall and break
My body fragile, unstable
Just another day with EDS and POTS.
