red welt
———-
a for real, thickened scar issue, side of face,
no metaphorical poetic imagery, inches long,
no ******** ugly sin, a red welt, a greeting
from when I fainted one too many times
couldn’t locate from where I was bleeding,
saw blood on my knee, where it was pooling,
no idea I was gashed, where the mirror daily
would say, see, evermore, see what you’ve done
to me
*this, this, what to call it, so much more than a mark,
it was a keyed residual, a bitterness kiss of go-to-hell,
a sneering wake up call, an every second wish-me-well,
saying schmuck, you can’t go back when once you’ve pressed*
SEND
some king you are...
