Broken Ankle
It’s not something
I ever imagined I’d see:
my foot at such an impossible angle
at the bottom of my leg.
It’s not something
I ever imagined I’d do:
crawling back to the house on my knees
striving to keep the useless foot
above the snowy, icy ground.
It’s not something
I ever imagined I’d have:
surgery to repair
a trimalleolar fracture—
but here I am
in this hospital bed
still surprised by it all.
