Breaking Down Bruises
That double crescent moon bite mark
That Thom made on my arm
To show me he was, "*****."
Those five purple fingerprints
That Riley left, to remind me
My pants? Gone last night.
That weird, mysterious oval
On the inside of my thigh.
...Was that Kelsey or Nyssa?
That tiny yellow mark that splotched my eyebrow
From when I ran into a telephone pole
βcompletely sober.
Tyler still mocks me about that.
That blood red under-eye
That made me realize
We all get hit.
That Texas-shaped purple-to-yellow transition
That screamed to me,
We all heal.
