the aftermath (III) : wilting still
i have developed
a t
w
itch.
neurotic tendenc
i
es.
obsessive,
compu
l
sive
t
endencies.
i brush my teeth,
my ha
i
r.
i pick,
leaving ti
n
y,
almost unnoticeable
speckle
spot
scabs.
stupid that my
response
creates tan
g
ible
evidence of
an invisible
experience -
or maybe not -
maybe it'
s
appropriate
,
maybe i
t
's
the point
.
after all,
hold
i
ng the smooth
hair
and spark
l
ing
teeth
is a once
l
oved
heart
scarred,
pocked,
and marred by defeat.
i am
wilting still
waiting still
for the
tremors
to end
