Salvatore Attardo

Pain


Pain is creative
It finds me wherever I hide
Pain is a mile wide
Pain is isosceles
Pain flows downwards
In eddies and rivulets
Pain is symphonic
It takes your breath away
Monocultures of pain
Suffocate all other plants
Pain is companionable
Pain is harmonic
Cuckoo bird pain
Pain rains on its own parade
Pain is retrograde
Pain is my Captain
I am its Tennille
