Tangled fingers obscure the world
Pain transmutes the question of where do we begin
Into a gnashed plea crying when will it end
Focus funneled to the pinpricked point of light
A star mushrooming plasma down neurons swollen with the message
ThereispainYouarehurtDON’TMOVETHATWAY!
Fractured cerebral cortex, Overheated engine
Steams
Surrendered to the onslaught
Of glass-toothed mole rats
Burrowing deeper
Incisors clamp
Stopping the train at Lumbosacral Junction
