Lux's Indulgences - 18. Sprain

Moving forward, swiftly

Striking for the head.

It's blocked, knock it down

Catch the punch that follows before

 

Pain

 

But, committed, run behind

Grasp their arms and pin

Them to their sides

Through the throb

Of your damaged finger

 

Focus is all that matters now.

An allegorical poem, or a moment from a wrestling match... Either way, the sketch you paint here is concise and masterful

I feel adrenaline rush and hurt; your poem brings me directly into the action.

Thanks guys. It was my thoughts on something that actually happened earlier this week at martial arts training. My finger is recovering, my ego might take a bit longer, lol.

Before I read the last line I felt the focus. I connected because it's not so different from what I felt in the horse show ring when there was a drawback to get past. Welcome back, Lux!
