No Decoy

A poem for pain.
A long time resident
Inside me.

An invisible chain
Held by a man
Drags me.

Down the chute
I swiftly fall
Crash like a plane.

I drown in my tears,
Merge with the ground
And clog the drain.

A salty pool,
I am floating within.
Send me a crane.

I have a lot to gain
Despite the pain,
Let me explain:

To monetize a brain
Accustomed to pain…
My own Coup de Main.
