Unforgettable Pain

It happened so unexpectedly Unannounced like a quick vile thief, Acute spinal pain with no known injury A dislocation that had no relief. Searing pain gripped the back then Cutting from the top of my neck It felt like my whole body was broken- A puppet whose strings was a wreck. I fell on the floor, no movement Each breathe seemed to suck the Pain in Screaming added to the bizarre torment My mind was intact, but the body caved in. An old lady chiropractor was summoned She whose able hands traced the malady With gentle strokes restored the wayward bone Like a puzzle that fit again perfectly. Years have been kind to this body's spine And with utmost care I take it seriously To rest and to lie down, ease this body of mine For I cannot survive again such an injury.
