There
in the span
across the back
your agony rests.
There
in the flesh
of your arms
your pain sits.
There
in the curve
of your neck
your anger abides.
There
in the well
of your heart
your recovery dreams.

Shawn L. Bird 
I always enjoy your poetry. I very much enjoyed this one!
Thanks, Kevin

‘waterfalls in my eyes’
I like that.
Thanks for stopping by.
No wonder my back and neck hurt all the time. This is a great poem. Definitely has that “feel”…
Thanks for sharing with us. Now I’ll be working on those recovery dreams.
I’m counting on hot baths and long sleeps
Nice pattern poem! I noticed you also posted yesterday about back pain. Oddly enough I was hacked yesterday, and my cursor was changed to what looked like a spine. I couldn’t place what it looked like, until I read your post yesterday, and it made me think of it. Hackers are a curious bunch, they did no damage to my pc. It seems I have had the attention of hackers for awhile, they do weird things like that sometimes. My identity has never been stolen, so I mostly ignore it. I also got a cryptic email from someone in the English department at Berkely today named Katie today, and I think I cracked the code. This is what she emailed me:
“i have a project for you
Regards
Ha”
It’s about Ha, an Egyptian God of the desert, I think. I found her WordPress blog, and she uses the word “project” in her approach to blogging, though she hasn’t blogged since last year. I suppose I am on my way to becoming friends with hackers or something, or who knows. All so strange.
You are an English professor, aren’t you? Apparently she works in something called the “Prospective Committee” according to http://english.berkeley.edu/graduate/EGA_directory Any idea what might be going on, like is this something people in English departments regularly do? I write a lot of poetry based on mythology, so I suppose she came across my blog, though I haven’t heard back from her.
Interesting, huh? lol
Now, that’s just *weird*!
I’m not a professor. I’m a high school teacher and a graduate student. 🙂
Ah, my mistake. But yes, very weird. Not sure what to think about it all. Suppose I will have to see if she responds. lol
❤️ the last stanza. 🙂

Reblogged this on In Lee's Shoes.
I very much like your repetitious pattern and the depth of your vision … I love concern with healing.
Thank you.
Love! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure
My recovery also plans, in the well of my heart.
and eventually, planning becomes action.
