Originators like Yona Wallach:

and that's not what'
ll satisfy
my hunger no
that's not
what
'll ease
my mind
no
that's not it.

They draw from each other life and brain
remain like burnt out
eyeholes long and empty
surrounded by lines markings contours
of what was once life

Place a large dam
by the wellsprings of the pain
gather with it
like water
watch over it
so it doesn't disperse
for it is your life.
