Pain
More faithful
than lover or husband
it cleaves to you,
calling itself by your name
as if there had been a ceremony.
At night, you turn and turn
seaching for the one
bearable position,
but though you may finally sleep
it wakens ahead of you.
How heavy it is,
displacing with its volume
your very breath.
Before, you seemed to weigh nothing,
your arms might have been wings.
Now each finger adds its measure;
you are pulled down by the weight
of your own hair.
And if your life should disapear ahead of you
you would not run after it.

Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life.
