May 6, 2020 (I was 75)
My fingers gnarl
I can't let go
I cannot grasp
Pain of surprise
makes a sharp point
in joint of knuckle
that won't unbuckle
a sudden fear to comprehend
an end is near
I shudder to see a twisted digit
turned on me
With panicked haste
I pop it back in place
massage to soothe the knot
and the message of the thought
