Pain.

Pain
Pain looms large, a macabre
figure in front of you, causing a
frightening tremor around you,
pain is no longer a pain
until you know the cause of it,
pain befriends sadism , for
together they want to tap you,
sapping your patience,
pain is continual, tapping
different doors , by quirks
elsewhere, by its whims and fancies,
no balm can cure its
obduracy, pain’s vicious mind
is cool, calculative , not
knowing the meaning of pain,
it pains , it pains, it rains.
