Pain

Penetrative prodigious plundering pestilential prod of pain Ambiguous avarice amassing astounding avalanche of ache Injuriously instigating incessant inconsolable irritation Nattering numbness needling nerves to nail the heart with fire and fear. ii Feathers flocking night The rocks gnaw the flesh of sight Icarus groans death The stake through the tongue The vice tightens without end I crumble in skin What singes the brain Stranding me in motion scraps - The hog teeth of pain. iii O Christ, your cross spike My flesh, plundering virtue From my callousness. Trembling nail in me Biting bone breaking blood's vein Winces through the night Vinegar or gall I would drink for ease of pain And blind fear of death Yet to die is ease I seek but grimace away In sweat and shaking.
