Broken Ribs
Thugs ‘n muggers broke a few
Steel-toed boots handy adjuncts to the enterprise.
Cracked me a few careening into an immovable object (at 40 mph)
Gotta say, it hurt to breathe
Laughter cost plenty
God bless compression tape.
Even so...
Nothing hurt quite so bad
As the damage inflicted
Without a flick of a finger
Or the momentum of a toe.

Some wounds cut deeply but leave no scars and take your breath completely away... leaving you gasping for a long time.
If they cut me open and bared my heart, the wealth of scars would astound them. And yet I survive, we survive.
Heartache is by far the worst pain.
Ouch. Yes, even so. Body slams pale by comparison to those slams to the heart that leave one doubled over, gasping in pain and disbelief. And yet, as Lilith said, we survive. In fact, we recover. Yes, thank goodness, eventually we recover.

Ah, yes...we humans, male and female alike, understand each other.
