Layered Pain

Deep tunnel of wound gripping
bored deep in sensual strata
surface sheared in excruciating trauma,
sink to petrified depth of unfeeling...stillness
at benumbed bottom of layered pain...placid.

"excruciating trauma" and "petrified depth of unfeeling" - these terms describe pain in a profoundly deep way, my friend. Well done!
