Backache

Homeopaths speak of how
Physical pain sometimes reveals
More of the inner life
Than is comfortable.

So when I woke with a backache,
I wondered if it was simply a matter
Of sleeping funny

Or if I was bearing more than I should.

Which was a thought to make me
Uncomfortable.

I thought I was doing (mostly) okay.

After a day of excruciating pain,
I took the remedy that brought me out of despair
Two years back.

After an hour nap, I woke up to feel
Just about normal.

File this away in
Things that make you go hmm.
