Thump-thump, bang-bang sounds,

the long magnetic tube hums,

scanning angry discs,

Hot pain laces through my legs

answers needed for my back.

**********

This was written after having an MRI to take a look at my lower back and leg pain.

    It sounds horrible! Hope you're ok 🙏

  • I think I may be missing some context to understand this poem 😅

    This is quite different and a poem that makes me think physical pain but not for sure. The rhythm is kind of soothing though.

    Mysterious and beautiful, Daphsam.
