One leggedly afoot

my leg was torn off not entirely without reason but certainly without warning I lost my balance for as long as it was allowed after some searching I founda precarious shelter for loss and amputation pain inthe safe of irrevocability oftime I learned to walk again or rather kind of bounce but I couldn't care less I'll takethat in my stride sometimes I forget that he's gone and talk as if I'm two legged I run ahead and shout leave everyone far behind while they are still dealing with badly entangled limbs A stumbling phantom still points to the empty space but hasn't got a leg to stand on
