Joints

August 1, 2026 by Bridgette

poetry: hooked


bone on bone
press press press
slippity crack
it takes me

pull so tight
tug tug tug
gravity
it takes me

pop a pill
pull pull pull
falling away

don’t take me


*32/100: For the next 100 days, I’ll be writing and posting a poem every day.

**All photos are mine, taken with an Olympus E-M1 MarkII and edited with Lightroom Classic.
