PAIN
The two hemispheres of my brain
are clouds, heavy with sorrow...
Springs are my eyes!
Tears are springing, tears are springing...
And they run into the invisible River,
while, on the other side, there is
plenty of joy.
Yet, invisible is the River,
invisible,
and a passed-over place
cannot be found.
