Sport 36: Winter 2008

Seven weeks + five

Seven weeks + five

Elizabeth, wrapped in a hip-spike
plaster round her middle
and down one leg
is losing herself in a book
called Icebound.

This afternoon, scared of falling
and another dislocation
she talks to a social worker
about packing up her house
and the possibilities of rest homes.
