The Scar

First the pang revealing
what the skin’s concealing
what the ancient feelings are

silent to the stroking
lesions edged invoking
breathing even, feeling far away

ecstacy’s incisions
weathered with endorphins
tissue rending nerves shoot stars

once the gash is gaping
kneed the ashes within
ash of lost love or kin charred with

euphoria

now the wounds are healing
pressure staunch the bleeding
fresh air for congealing hard

scar fibrosis knitting
fusion fix the slitting
phoenix marks the sealing scarred with

euphoria
