DANIEL GRJONKO

“Humans are social creatures”
and so much so that
it’s actually quite difficult
to inflict self-harm.

Empathy or family
absorbs
and takes it on.

That is the true terror.
Isn’t it?

Even alone in a desert,
should someone hear of
your pain,
they would take it on.

That is terror.

We could not be solitary
creatures
until there was only one left.

And even then,
the moan of the toothache
would be for
oneself.
