Poem

Pain

Most described

and vilified

so many different

Ways to feel

each one identified

as real

The slice that stings

those paper things

quick sudden impact

thudding throb

slow constant rill

feel it still

Fiery nerve ends

burn in air

the ones that pulse

and still are bare

a crushing blow

the hammer knows

Witch is bearable

quick and neat

or controlled

by drugs

feel only

heart beat

Escape not there

sensation here

the flesh responds

and nerves repair

a mark remains

to tell the tale

Maps of life

experience brings

disconnect feeling

where scars begin

numb but sensitive

in a different way

Large and small

long and short

some forever

some a memory

fleeting but

touched remembered
