I'll smack your face until paint
spurts out of your eyes & ears
I'll revive you
the horizon's ember-red
look at it
burn your eyes out on it
your body
is eternity moving like a worm
lower yourself into me--hurt like a surgeon hurts

In a good way or a bad way? I don't want to assume which. Only good poems burt in a good way, and only bad ones burt in a bad way.

Then again, getting hit in the teeth with a hockey puck is a far more visceral way to get hurt than any poem will provide. That's why I don't play hockey.
