Suffer for the Words
Did you suffer for the words?
Was it painful to put them out
when they had come in aright?
How did you bear the carnage,
the disemboweling of your own
fresh first thoughts?
Does crimson flow on every page,
in bloody bone-cutting sparseness,
so clean there’s no meat for the dog?
You must have bled a river of tears for them.
