Cicatrix

Certain words have the right touch
as though practiced in what it takes to fail.
No need to go getting me your first aid kit,
simply caught myself good with a fingernail
such as can't stop bleeding so much.
Certain words have the right edge
for cutting through even the thickest skin.
By this time tomorrow I'll be used to it —
what's salvation to you's my usual sin
with its scab oozing out when I stretch.
