Sarah St Vincent Welch #16 Scar



Scar

a pit
a tear
marks

most inside

this scar
here
lets me wonder about
my liver

scars
so I can breathe better
grow

the line of bite marks
inside my cheeks

something is wrong
with my bile

remembering the rip
of skin
a patch removed
as you held my hand
a precaution
this, this and this one
the doctor assessed
little bit by little bit
(at least they are little
bits), but they do
add up over time

most made
with my own nails
lattice and stretch
