The Allegory of the Broken Toes

slipped and fell on the staircase
and the x-ray showed two phalanges fractured
a wounded pride, a heart leathered by the neglect of lovers
so I shall limp with a certain amount of pride
as the toes turn deep purple
their blackness will be a tribute to you
every wince and yelp will be the symphony of us.
