Distracciónes

Distractions.

Momentarily take me

away from this pain.

I don't want to face it

any more.

Take me away.

Make me forget.

The swelling goes down

only to flare up again

when I return

to reality.

Distractions.

We know what happens

when we come back

to earth.

We know the pain

will return.

What is the point,

then?

What do we gain?

We are only

fooling ourselves.
