Pain like water spreads and flows
Trickles into the darkest hidden depths
Climbs through the capillaries
Evaporates suddenly under the hot sun
Condenses again unexpectedly
If you try to build a home on pain
It waits in the walls
Rots the floorboards
Shorts out the power
Demands random desperate repairs
Better to see the marsh
Drain it
And seal it off
First
