The sharp ***** of a needle
draws my attention
but lets go fast

I welcome you
you're hardly even a memory of pain
just a blessed achievement of your absence

other pain is not so easily muffled
by the post of my my head
on a soft pillow

the dull ache that grows deep inside my flesh
deep inside my muscle, my cartilage and bone
when I do little or nothing to stop the suffering
