The Element of Blank

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.
It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.

Emily Dickinson
Pain Has An Element Of Blank


... And so a blog begins. With reluctance and much pain. The way only a blank paper and a big ego can afford.
