"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks." Simonides, 6th-5th century, B.C.
itch
unable to scratch
tingling, teasing
invisible
sensation
unable to reach
endless, relentless
unyielding
aggravation
helpless
unable to mend
tickling, annoying
unwavering
exhaustion
unable to sleep
with this
relentless
tingling
There is always a knife close to the vein
Or a roof tall enough to float from
or a vehicle fast enough to meet a tree
or a pandemic sitting right here
ready to finish this
