Scallops, ham, mayonnaise, pita,
you think of scalloping the ham,
making it a thing.
All the good in there, sifted out,
sinks into the good foot.
The other foot; the heel, the arch, the nail bed,
rages through the night,
rattles as you nod,
pain pinpricking along to all the horror your father never told.
