Agony!

With sharpened axe you splice and splice again Repeatedly you strike Should I forget your name You take a rest and burn and ache and swell Until old familiar returns to bring me Hell You rage in Devils angry fire Keep me awake I can not sleep through depth of mire You drill with pressure, push, pummel and pull You drag, drain and dull - to peace - short while Praise be! Amen!... but not for long... with wrong move or slight of weather start over again...
