The Pain of Knowing
by David Ritchie
copyright 08-23-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
The Pain of Knowing

There is clarity in flayed flesh
draining memory from the body
and
this knowledge drips down near the ribs
and
spreads to the rest of the body
and
I scream with the hoarse-voice
of the bastard I am
but still expect salvation

What a fool I am to do this
but I rear my head every now and then
and shout
I’m going to kill you
I’m going to kill you
As I lick at the draining knowledge
and
hope I can keep some of it
and
I hope it matters.

The truth hurts... That's what Mom used to say. I wonder if that has any pertinence here. :)

Wow! Not much more can be said except this poem is very strong and has sharp edges.
