From Distance: The Pain Poem by Atef Ayadi

From Distance: The Pain



a black electric wire for neutral
the white is for hot

i adjusted

the voltage to 99 volts

then i touched
the white

and i thought about a word to describe it.

it is 99 volt
fast and vibrating word.

i added more voltage
to memorize

more words,
more feeling's words,
more picture's words,
more sound's words,
of the pain;

cause
pain
is
only memories.
