Pain Too

By Laura Hershey

I dream
of pain too
not the always ache
of emptiness
but full pain new pain
that will go away
pain holding tight
my hands
and
pain to wet my face
gasping
against the loss
of happiness
I dream
the birth of pain
fathered by happiness
I dream
yes
I dream
of happiness
and
I dream
of pain too
