Poem: "The Gravity of Loss"
This poem was written outside the regular prompt calls, as a sequel to "Keeping Warm." It was inspired by a prompt from DW user Dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "new disability" square in my 12-20-14 card for the Rites of Passage Bingo Fest, the "fear / terror" square in my 12-17-14 card for the Genprompt Bingo Fest, and the "hospital stay" square in my 11-25-14 card for the Hurt/Comfort Bingo Fest. It belongs to the series Polychrome Heroics.

WARNING: This poem deals with some intense personal issues for Cold Cash, resulting from the events of "Keeping Warm." These include facing physical and metaphysical disabilities, psychological challenges, and a health care system that is sometimes erratic in the quality of its support. Personnel onstage in this poem are supportive, though. If these are sensitive issues for you, consider your headspace before reading further.
