\nHow do you feel? (Sic)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnd the silver sands flayed
\nBy the all day all night wind
\nWhipping off the Weddell Sea<\/p>\n
\nSlates, razors to the laughs of gasping fish<\/p>\n
\nNaked beyond dignity- bitten
\nIn The salt winds teeth
\nThe unhealing wounds weeping
\nRed tears
\nMatching those inside<\/p>\n
\nBeyond this moment
\nThis is how i feel<\/p>\n
