From Head to Toe, 21



Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body


Spine (c): lumbar bones

Each one of us has five of these—
The lower back, where Ache can live.
And lumbar ache’s no gentle breeze
But full of all that Pain can give.

But some, I’ve read, have six, not five—
It seems that just might well explain
Why some of us (while still alive)
Can have, it seems, a bit more pain.
