Pins in Dolls
I’m tired, and I wish
I could rest well
But pains like pins
Keep me awake
I wish I could resolve
These; I wish the
Witch or brujo
Would pull these
Unearthly prickles
Out

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

What is the cause of your pain? I have that sort of pain with fibromyalisa. Anti inflammatory helps me and Tramadol.

Thank you for your response with information from your life. I do wonder if the problem might be larger than leg-pains simply from standing too long. If it persists without pause, I’ll ask my doctor.
I’m glad you have medication that helps. Thank you, again.

Now that I think of it, pins is a slang term for legs, which is where the pain is. I tend to stand while teaching. I should sit down more. Thank you, sister, for your concern and care!

Uh oh! I think that’s a common teacher-ache. My sister’s a teacher too and her pins sometimes hurt too!
You are welcome! I hope you feel better now!

Your sister, too? Hmm. Makes me wonder if we both should not sit down more often. Last night was better with the pain. Thank you!
