Whenever I eat,
I eat the pain of your love, mistress.
Whenever I get sleepy,
I dream of my love, my mistress.
Whenever I lie on my back in the house,
I lie on the pain of your love, mistress.
For whenever I walk about,
I step on the pain of your love, mistress.
translated by Frank Boas
Every day I think of past wrongdoings and my heart aches for those cells in people where hurt and pain live. Finely written and provoking, too.
It is a beautiful poem. And unfortunately, pain is always with us in this life, like the air we breathe, it is a constant.
