Scar Wars

A few days

Every few weeks,

These scars speak to me

From the heart,

Broken not by love,

But for life

Extended.

 

The surgeon's knife

Xacted a reprieve

From end untimely

To new beginning.

 

And time's no longer

An orphan ignored

But the treasured child,

Finite virtue extolled;

 

Like the mariner of truth,

She lies on wings

Of fate;

 

Bypassing clots

And coroners;

 

That scars might speak to me

A few days more,

Every few weeks.

 

~ P
