Shiver Sever

Like an amputee

A part of me has been unwillingly removed

Severed from my aching body.

And just like an amputee

The phantom pains keep me up at night.

And the realization of the lose more

Painful

Than the loss itself.

The memory of the limb

More useful

More holy

Than the limb itself.

The inability for reconciliation.

Time that marches ahead with

Two Solid Feet.

And the Limb

Who has found a new body

To attach to

Without remorse for the old.
