3. Hurting



It hits like a freight train
from beyond the tunnel,
unseen in approach,
the paralysing punch
of pain:
I am like stone
until it passes -
a station
ignored by the express
in its resolute journey.
I cannot see it
but others see it
expressed in eloquence
tracked on the platform
of my face.
