Faces of Pain

1

Andy Warhol’s knives-

scratching your gut

Leaving it with a muzzled dot

2

Mad woman wailing,

a seed swimming in the air-

in night’s seclusion

3

Pain.

Pressing the glass-

deep into the wrist

4

cold winds hit the shore

wailing waves of the sea-

footprints on the sand

5

wrapping a chain

around one's throat-

soul swings in the air
