I can count the
Freckles on your face
While your fingers can
Follow the pattern of the
Slashes on my back

You cheeky bugger, pulling off an amazing brevity even I can't.  Truly amazing poem and touching, sad and beautiful at the same time.

If you lived through it, scars don't mean a thing, they're like 
medals of honor.

Love and hurt often coexist. Hopefully, they're not too deep.

Happy Equinox! What a wonderful write!! This is my last posting, I'm sad, but I will come and read your work still, forever and ever!!

Close Contact are great but hurt does damage.
Well written Bravo Peter

Be careful allowing intimate contact of this sort and be sure the slashes are dry to the touch before allowing a partner to touch them. Stay safe!
