Learning the Hard Way Come midnight the wounds begin to speak freely: the mouth the spear point opened between the ribs, the grimace between the shoulder blades where your friend entered his poison knife, aperture of thigh wound where your lover plunged the icy dagger of betrayal. And all the other wounds, two score injuries pouring out their life stories complex, valuable, and sordid. Now at last you listen closely, now you learn to speak by means of pain a language you had never studied, saying the words that were said before the stars had names, before we knew we were the tribe we are, before we uttered the falsehoods that define us truly. Fred Chappell
