Ingrown
This toe is bulbous
Sore and white
Should I remove
A corner of nail
Tonight?!
What joy is extraction!
Of puss and pain
The tenderness lingers
To harden again..
Deep perennial nerve punctured
By sharpened tacks
Scraped down to the nail bed
Some stays in the cracks
Covered by puss blood
The momentum increased
Yanked along with the skin
The sharp edge released
Moist with a green tinge
From infected flesh
The cavity sits hollow
Exposed pinky fresh
Sensitive to the touch
A dull throbbing occurs
Much like the night time
When a stabbing day stirs..
