Like a sunbeam through a window

Like a joy through the face of a widow

Like heat through wood

Like reason throuhg mood

Like eyes behind a veil

in my soul an unbound gale

xxx

Like a splinter under the nail

Like a dead face behind a veil

Like a vein cut open

Like a bone three times broken

Like a whiplash running down the back

Like a hemp rope squeezing the neck

Like a hook under the chin

Like razor through skin.

Like a sad cup of finished coffee

Like hunter's wall without a trophy.
