POINTS ON THE GRID

ANOTHER TRY AT IT


1. Another Try At It
There is no answer to me
but the mighty walk of you
so I see nothing
but the PAIN THE PAIN THE PAIN THE PAIN
investing in me
because I want you I cant help it
I must have you our we
even the mighty walk
impressing itself in the nerves of my eyes
you know it I know
and I suffer with your suffering
because you know it
and you guage the dangerous
touch of our mighty skins
This is no answer to us
but a distracted whistling in the blood
a
melioration of THE PAIN
but there are the two of us
THERE and no blood way out of it
we are snared in all the mightiness of it
