Inflicting Wounds With or Without Words


The cut—
is deep
and jaggedly
expands outwards
(like a mushroom cloud
from an atomic bomb)


The heart—
pounds—thump-thump--thump-thump
as clots form
cling to frictions…


The wound—
slow heals
reflecting a scar
(seen and unseen)


The pain—
subsides
and dies into dullness


and time
is neither right, wrong or mediocre
and often it doesn’t heal   all   wounds.
