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...
