Someone hurt me yesterday
The weapon so old and dull I did not think it could penetrate my hide.
It did not slice neatly, parting my flesh,
but left a ragged hole.
My mind festers, facts and implications roiling,
sucking at it like a sore tooth.
My heart has closed in upon itself,
tightly furled petals
no prying hand can open without damaging.
Like a night flower,
It will open again soon when the sun shines.

WOW! If this is a current pain, I wonder if this might be why thoughts of you have come to my mind often the last few days. I’m sorry I didn’t act upon them sooner and write you like I have been meaning to do! Is there anything I can do for you? I do hope the sun shines for you soon!!! Let me know.
Take Care!
