(Haiku X 4)
Something sharp's inside
Piercing deeply soft walls of
My throat, chest and heart
Can't swallow...can't move
In this too long a standstill
Punctured by fish bones
Deep inside my flesh
Cut by a stiletto knife
Life's balms can't heal...why?
Even when pulled out,
Mind never forgets the pain
Life's fish bones leave scars...

Something sharp's inside
Piercing deeply soft walls of
My throat, chest and heart
Can't swallow...can't move
In this too long a standstill
Punctured by fish bones
Deep inside my flesh
Cut by a stiletto knife
Life's balms can't heal...why?
Even when pulled out,
Mind never forgets the pain
Life's fish bones leave scars...
