28.

Looking for trouble.

Many do not wish to remember
ltheir suffering;

I, instead,

make sure I don't forget them.

It is not merciful to forget
to erase the living scars

of memory,

with new bloodless tissues.

I prefer the open wound
the productive sting of

still fresh pain.

But, alas, my desire is in vain,
because I too will have to

submit to healing.

Therefore, I must hurry,
before the bombast of explaining

spoils a point in time

and now lost forever.
