The Cutting Word - May 22, 2000

Each word is like a cut
and everytime I read thim
I relive the moment
that I wrote them.

Each day is like a wound -
open, raw
and unhealing.
And each time I write
I remember.

Every silent moment is hard won
for there is
no peace in constant struggle.

Each life is a vacuum -
unfeeling of the pain
for all my thoughts
have been recorded
and I am
empty
now.
