ouch

[Pixelina]

Naked and bleeding,
Scratching your way across the floor.
Ripping your fingernails out of your flesh
Grinding your teeth to dust.
Throw your, throw my head back to release an anguished wail.
But I can't,
Can't bear to hear the sound of my own voice.
Tortured sobs.
I stray farther away from my path,
To master the Powers.
Take my bloody fingernails,
And my dust
And swallow them to silence myself.

this is very raw...it is almost sad, but it has a good turn-around, almost like what a poet tries to do with a japanese hakui-you start somewhere and bring us somewhere else. i dont know if you were trying to do this, but it is very successful.
