Predicament

Ash and I are trammeled now
in bodies giving way to time
both besieged by wear

this new to us me and him
we are children infants
burdened by predicament

his left knee and all my bones
two person surgeries
how to live recover

driving shopping therapies
tending one another
in time of disrepair

this reality new and scaring
'bends the knees of my heart"
to the ground

prostrate in love
before my God in me
"Know me."
