Sample poetry from Pains: "When did it happen:black becoming white? White as smoke ash, white as surviving snow, white and rough and vacuousas a sigh that cuts through a glacier. Those silken threadsare still atop my headthinning by the day. When the wind blows, it still levitates. The wind says, your earth still lives, my breath cannot break you."
