Mending old wounds and similes (as a professional courtesy)

Your face, the moon

not unlike craters,

the mark

the scar

the fierce reminder

that there was impact

and after the fact,

a surge of dust

that left me. Clean and free,

feeling better, like I could survive

another meteor shot to **** my heart’s desire.

Notes: Yeah, it's esoteric, but I posted it because the word flow is still fun... read it out loud and with attitude! ;-)
