Break through the skin,
Like thin slimy latex.
Spill out of the scar,
Naked and whole,
Emerging aware,
Doubled over in weight.
Rub the scab upon the bark.
Tear away the itch.
Let this wind sting the pock.
Let this earth absorb your dripping code.
Salt the crater,
Ice the salt.
What is it that you feel?
