From painful smiles
The mouth burst
Scattering blood, breeding relief and pain
Like an overfilled drum
Hurt pushes to be free
But the harder it pushes, the tighter it closes
Oh soul of hunger! Soul of thirst!
I’ve exceeded my danger! I’ve exceeded my pain!
Get the pain seamstress! Get the hurt cleaner!
Sow me to purity! Help me forget,
As the world wheels
And the time twirls.
