The system ran the lines on! Let's try again:

It’s the abstraction of pain into the word

And then the fear to speak

That changes the bowl of bright flowers

Into a misery - the room to a chamber –

And the hands of the lover into grasping hooks.

I beat myself with silence into silence.

Freedom is to speak. And I fear to form

What is air and may be made in a minute.
