Painful Hurt
She said it didn’t hurt
Some words may lie parched
along with the
collage
…but it doesn’t hurt
It feels like
the beginning of something,
Like when a breeze flew her hat
your way
Or when the unlikeliest
of human scent
parted a sea
It didn’t hurt
How could it possibly hurt…
When each painful wave
restores a smile,
And each smile
repeats…
To think of hurt
when tears render words timeless
And time itself consents
to peaceful convulsions…
requires that it hurt
