Rare Pain I admire the rare pain, worn as a gaudy gouged ball- gown. When I think none can know, they do. Like beetles eagerly swarm a Broken carcass, Scattered wounds and The scar wide and eternal, mouthful of pain silence, I am drawn to but wary of that blank place. Drawn to but ordered by that place, as a wave is ordered, upwards, over, pull- ing in, retreating, rolling, it tears me in two. Lynn Finger Poet Lynn Finger holds a B.A. in Humanities.
