Parched, dry and breathless
In effect as though climbing the sand dunes in the desert
Achingly feeling the sharp pain shooting up the entire leg
Finding it difficult to bear the weight
Swelling has made it harder to place full body weight
Tortuous for each step to land
Still, I try
Bending the now throbbing
It has a distinct heartbeat emanating through every sinew
Pain making it hard to breathe deeply
Feels like a knife held close against bare skin
Feeling the pain making it hard to think or stand straight
Thirsty, dusty and dry
