thirteen steps

which bone
is it now,
which muscle pulled,
or inflamed
joint
that makes me wince
as i negotiate
the stairs
going down.
thank God for rails.
at some point i'll repaint
these walls
where my arms
and shoulders
have leaned upon in
going down
to the kitchen.
going up is much easier.
crawling
like a child.
