Throbbing
Aching
Fire
My constant companion
Gout foot
Swollen too fat to bend
Standing
Shoots spikes into my leg
Sitting all day
Creates more discomfort
Any touch feeds the flame of fire
Shifting for a time
Still no relief
Shifting again
Jarring pain shoots through my foot
Kitty sits in my lap for a cuddle
After only a few moments she must be shooed off
Pressure of her weight causes more pain
I keep a three foot bubble of space
Around my foot
Because bumping it
creates
even MORE
aching
throbbing
FIRE.
please someone
bring me
blessed relief!
