so sharp not felt
painless entry fools me again
medication forced
a ball-bearing brooding under skin
so slowly seeping into me
vein valve stretched
a pool accumulates
pulling veins and valves further
blood slowed to thick
pressure building ‘til
pain, like reminders after years of drunk
hijacks, cripples
the thought of it receding
just enough to bear
watch the tip enter silently again
efficiently sharp
navel clockface, hours marked
before pills and tests and decisions
