Ouch...

what else when
a door has been lashed open
a slap given across the face
a fist received in the stomach
from out there

what else when
a disheartening scream is being heard
both eyes are flooded with salted water
an extreme resistance sets in
from deep within

what else can it be
than an extreme pain
rising from the dead
making itself felt
in dis-ease and illness
in the body

Thank you and welcome
to this blast from the past
