The Pain Remained With Me

Image by Stan Winokur


The pain remained with me

The pain remained with me a long time.
Finally the ancient root was cut --
from immersion I emerged blinking into light.
I am restored to health now
though the season is gray.
Surgery everywhere;
this tea table was once the flesh of a tree.
