it was the first time i really felt that pain could be beautiful
it was there, on the wire
the thought first grips you
you feel it grinding its way through every vein and vessel
you hear it like the tightening of ropes
your core about to burst at any second
about to jump through every pore
then it transgresses
the potential inside is burning
a neon gas aflame through the windows
of your eyes, though closed,
seeing everything
