the nature of pain

The nature of pain

is dependent upon the action

of our conclusive nature

in convincing us to death.

Not so much

the conclusion itself

but the process

that gets us there.

Find the real guts

of the process

not just the language

and appearances

and what we can give

as a pain account

but how what we think

when we think it out

that makes it seem

relevant for us.

That place in the process

where we all dwell

into summary

is our metaphorical

environment of pain.

Pain is just that one word

that cryptically represents

our connection to another

secretly inner world.

Kind of a personal

cryptic code word

into a world of assumptions

about how we are

and our expectations

as to how it should go

as either a summary or litany

of all the disappointments

that languish

until there is a sentinel

or flashpoint of pain.

Pain is simultaneously

the syntax

and the sentence

expressed.

Pain annunciates

towards angst.

Pain calls out

for sympathy or empathy

but no explanation

forth coming

could elucidate

the personal and private

complexity of this carriage.

Treatment in response

is a reductionism

not an embrace.

Without this utterance

as interpretation

there is no summary

as statement.

The searching out of pain

continues.

There is a vacancy or void

spawned within us

to pursue it

as if to fill.

We as anthropomorphic

become our pain.

We come from the deities

of disillusionment.

We of wound

symbolically bleed

a kind of consciousness

from our pain.

As long as we reside

in conclusions

as prominence placards

of our state of being

pain will be one

of our most immersive

but reticent

of sensory contends.

Pain is

for now

as one hand clapping

our philosophic resolve.
