Synonyms

We should try
on different words

to answer more
precisely when

they ask us
to describe how

it hurts. It’s simple
to answer: 

Does it hurt?
Yes, of course.

When asked: Where
it hurts? Most times,

we may sigh,
bite tongues,

quietly point to
somewhere above

your upper left quadrant,
slightly off-center,

in the general vicinity
of that pulsing bundle

of cardiac muscle, maybe
clasp hands to forehead,

but how can you
describe pain overrun

with anger when you’re
numb from searching?
