Spinal Cord Injury Arc Apocrypha
Since it's been a number of months (and because I just finished a song rework that was being uncooperative), I thought I ought to post again. I hope to have more time for fandom again after the holiday season, but in the meantime, please enjoy the song rework and three short poems.
First, the song rework. Call this "Nobody's Fault" in a not-quite-duet.
"From a Distance"
Next, House's perspective on the events of the episode. This one is unusual for me: I write very few villanelles, since this particular French verse form is difficult to render well in English. It's also in second person, which I hadn't experimented with before. Still, I'm pleased with the result.
"Parallels"
Switching to Chase's perspective, a jump rope poem set during his yet-unwritten rehab/recovery period.
"Adapting"
Finally, a triolet. This is a form I learned relatively recently, but its circular structure seemed to suit the subject: Chase in early recovery, learning to manage a wheelchair.
"Around Again"
