Pain

A rolling feeling
sharp then dull
well up against the bone
a mark on the skin
blood rushes, bruising nerves
fiery torture
no kindness
boiling oil under flesh
swelling in pride of violence
a testament to anger
now going numb with ache
blood coursing down
dark skin of man
streaks with burning agony
shattered bone
sheets of pain
a mask of horror
gaze on the wound
the suffering renews
tighter on the skin
burning in wrath
explosions as it moves
crusting and infecting
drying as it drips
dark red on
light flesh
drained of blood.
You faint.
