Twist in the Wind

by James Zealy

35 mph winds
Rattle tree limbs
Whisk away water spray
From Power spray window cleanse

Eight foot A frame ladder
Clambored to stream dormer dog houses
Wish washing away dirty remnants

Multiple water falls expose
Gutters debris filled
Rubbish hidden from view

Simpleton climbs higher
Trash clearing fantasy
And no ladder holder

Go one step higher
Click yes or no
Shoulda clicked no

As Wind Twist rotate and tipple
Fall from grace

Splattering hard
Knocked glasses askew
Joint crooked

Stagger door opens
In shock announces
"I think I'm hurt"

Doctor's office drive fumes
Professional mouth's spews
"It appears broken"
While signing
A wrong handed xray order

Twisting in discomfort
As the ladder that turned
and wind gusts disturbed
Stasis of comfort consumed

And I am angry at my own stupidity

Author's Note: I fell, broke my wrist I had surgery, and I was a dumbass for being on the ladder in the wind with no one holding it.
