Express The Un-Expressionable

I have had 3 mintues to write something having spent the lunchtime talking when I should have been writing. Hence this quick introduction!

The following is inspired by my father's wisdom and recent troubles in the family.

Thorns

Organic teeth lodged beneath the skin
Pierce muscle,
scrape to and through bone.

Father taught me
Pull hard, pull slow, pull fast
Pull them out

never let them rest.
