roina_arwenCracking my toe on the iron table leg, I
Utter blasphemous words, loudly,
Releasing my agony and frustration.
Shit, why wasn’t I more careful?
Everything is flooded in red, as pain
Suffuses all colors and thought patterns.
Frak, fuck, phooey, and fiddlesticks -

As I stretch out on the sofa, my toe throbs angrily.
Groaning, my orange cat decides I’m ripe for pouncing.
Argh. It’s not her fault I’m in such a tender state.
I wince, take a deep breath, and pet her gently.
Not knowing about my toe, she blankets me with purrs.
