Workout Aftermath

Muscle soreness after workout felt like

the colony of beaver marching

inside every cell of the body.

The colony broke down the fatty

muscles with their sharp teeth.

The protein inside our

muscles got scraped out.

Our muscles made us strong

through the gift of spasm.

We learned endurance from the

scourge that the soreness gave us.

Workout aftermath offered ache

yet enlightened with life lessons

and bestowed us with healthy contended life.
