The Pain

I sit quietly
It twinges
Not once but twice
And then a third time
A sharp piercing pain
In the joint of my left thumb

How strange
A twinge
From nowhere
A piercing pain 
That sears and spreads
And now it is gone

I wrote this because that is what happened and I thought how odd that a pain should come and go so quickly. Just felt I had to record the event as a poem. 12.6.23
