PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Unpremeditated

incidental injury



like paper cuts

- bad luck -

superficial wounds

stinging disproportionately



yet over

and over

and over

and over again

until a vein is struck

unleashing torrents of blood



a flood

expediting the inevitable scar

that,

regardless of reparations,

may be forgiven

even forgotten



but never again

be pristine skin.
