Cicatrix

Illuminating wounds in semicircular crevices
Grooves engraved like craters erupting untold tales
Tiny fingers run over this painful braille
Each sentence reads aloud a distinctive venture of older times
Grooves engraved like craters erupting untold tales
Tiny fingers run over this painful braille
Each sentence reads aloud a distinctive venture of older times
Right ulna, enwrapped in a topographical map of legends
Bicycles, sinking into the concrete like the Titanic
Fire of accusations as seen by Joan of Arc
A tornado of lacerations by kittens
Left fibula, torn with burrows of blades
Kickball sand eroded into the subdermal layer
Lines running longer than the Nile
Damage of the caliber of hurricane Gaston
Healed over
Keratinocytes nurturing
Membrane of repression and strength
