Cicatrix
By Karl Stevenson

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 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
