Hi Jai,
It seems like your recently broken ankle has made you feel fragile, and that feeling fragile has in turn made you more acutely aware of the fragility of the mortal condition. This poem has a very autumnal feel to it, both in its literal descriptions, such as the sun's lowered position, and in its figurative ones, such as of your impression of your reflection in the window. And perhaps the enforced immobility of the injury has made you a little more prone to rumination. As usual, your visual descriptions are very vivid and rich. As for the theme, well, I don't think you've played your last hand yet. The healing may come slower these days, but come it does. ;) Atticus
