Pain Says Stop


Pain says stop.
When it is sudden,
it screams stop.

Stop twisting.
Stop bending.
Stop moving.

Stop looking.
Stop listening.
Stop remembering.

Sometimes,
to be stopped by pain
is a good thing.

Sometimes,
even pain isn't enough
to make me stop.

The Bevel

The bevel aligns
Cutting edge art as if to
Balance gravity:
Woodpeckers tapping Morse code
For a nest in knots of wood.
