My mind a perfect blank
until the really darling
doctor
approached with a can
to freeze
a needle to poke
a sponge to sop the tears
of agony from the
destruction
of my acceptance
the pause
in my transient belief
the shot would be
painless.
(The word choices.) I didn't use all of the words, but those I used I used passionately.

Good for you. Very emotive. Hoping there was less pain and tears!
ReplyDeleteNope. that's just how I felt.
DeleteYou did well. Dear doctor....prod with that needle gently.
ReplyDeleteNeedles. Our lives are filled with needles. Probably why I am becoming an old curmudgeon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been stuck with a needle (other than when I'm sewing) in I don't know how long. Thankfully...
