In the unbroken moonlight
on the Plateau:
all the pains I’ve secreted away
in the deep hiding places of my heart
they crawl out,
these hidden pains like insects
from underneath these stones
that dot the Plateau
slowly, from deep within
the tears come
but the abressive winds
dry them up…
..in the unbroken moonlight
of this Plateau
I weep, silently,
for the days and the peace
that are no more.

Tight imagery. I see pain crawling out like insects. Nice piece. Tell H, I said so… Hehe.
