You Can't See It But It's there

Some days, pain has a texture. A color. The particular quality of light that doesn't warm you — it just burns.

I've lived with chronic joint pain for years. On the worst days I lie in bed and feel like a tree warped by its own growths, standing in sunlight so bright it eats away at the edges of things. Angry at my own body. Unable to think past it. This painting is one of those days.
