Chronic pain
So strange to have known pain for a decade
And, for it to, overnight, disappear
Gone - lost - I can barely remember how it felt
Any attempt to remember (it was a pinch? a...sear?)
Leads me back to what I feel, right now
The body wants to settle in the now
To celebrate what it feels
To move - and immediately, enjoy
Even in pain, the pain was all it could think of
What a joy, now, for it to be free
