Crunch! Ow!...Mother ffff!

Stub, club, smash, crash, bash,

Jam, smack, thwack, gack choke burn.

Sting. Poke, prick, prod stab jab-

Skew-er.

Torque, twinge, twist, crank, wrench,

Wrack, crush, blush, flush,

Contuse, abuse, collide,

Knock, bonk, bounce...tense, strain, ache...

Breathe. Shake it off. Keep going.

Night comes by degrees

Morning is born through darkness

Awaken trem'bling
