Walk

I took a walk,
So simple,
It took me
Eight months.
Now step-
By-step
I walk and
Enjoy the
Sensation
Of height
Plus movement
To explore the
World again,
I smile and
Those who
Stare at me
Smile back.
A man asked
Me if the leg
Was bionic,
I told him and
His wife the
Ankle twinned
Compression
Tube carried
Blood and they
Both took a
Step back
Until I laughed.
Carol smiles
Knowing she
Has thrown
The dice
And won
For both
Of us.
