WORDLESS  PAIN






              While  one  seeks  meanings  of  words

         I  go  searching  for  words  to  fit  mystical  meanings
              While  one  goes  chasing sun's  rays
         I  go  winding  the  golden  thread  to  the  ball  of  fire
              While  one  goes  peeling off layers of one's heart

         I  go  patching  and  mending  my shirt
              The  thread's  all  tangled

              The needle  pierces  my finger  tip
              He  spks  lhe  orange  in  my  face.
              And calls  me  bad names.
              While  the  bastard  wonders  from  where  it  rains  snow
              The  woman  drops  her  ecstatic <tears  in  the  red  chilly
                                            powder she's pounding

         I  fiicl:  away with rn_y  finger  ~ips th2 nater La~ fills  the eye.
         I  w2.s  terribly  pained.

              Have  you  seen  sorrow's  face  ever ?
                   A  tear  on  this  cheek
                   On·e  on that
              The ,two  on  sorrow's  path

              Yes  eh um,  tha:t' s  pain,
         Pain:
              in  words
              in  flames
              in  snow.
