On the dunes of my life
I see
An agile shape -
Dynamic reminder
Of a time gone by

A fossil's new life
Shedding skin
On healthy shin
Crawling with claws
Like a letter "shin",
Calligraphy integrated
In palpitating reality,
Of keratin

- A soft breathing envelope -
Of rich changing content
Of truth that regenerates,
Circulates.

There's a lizard-shaped scar
And it's like a smile
An amulet on my leg.

An ode to metamorphosis! Love the depth. You have written a mirror for time.

See-- you've got it. Make something beautiful out of what is torn/flawed/scarred and the result is more often than not more beautiful than the original. (Mom's wisdom)-- love it. --Charlie

The scab and sloughed skin as strength and regeneration; the scar as healthy reminder of both weakness and strength. Excellent...and somehow a vague reminder of one of my favorite childhood reptiles...the jewelled lacerta.

Your reflective memory creates for us a variety...it is those scars no matter how small they seem that create within us the realities of past and the escapes into future...

you express with depth and it cast us with you...

nice...

very nice Axilea...

Childhood scars either in flesh or in the mind often stay with us for our entire lifes, often serving as a reminder of a lesson learned or a price paid. Great write here Ax.

I felt like I left one dimension
And traveled to another
Then to discover. . . . . .
There's no going back.
Finely worded.
