some wounds

may not have been meant

to heal.

 

for

 

from their cracks

the water gets in

and goes deeper.

 

from their burns

we graft new skin

and seep poisons out.

 

from their scars

we keep record

of the lessons

that even failure taught.

 

·

some wounds

by never sealing

bear the gift

of perpetual healing.
