Poems
Jan 2017
scar tissue
dense as marble, your body
is something to hold onto
after years of chasing shadows,
thin reedy men whose leavetakings
were their legacies, fashioning
(maybe by accident) crude sharp tools
with which to stab my heart.
look at it today,
made thick by crisscrossing
scar tissue. have you ever seen
anything so beautiful
that was broken but
unbroken? here, feel
the heft of it in your palm.
