The X-Ray, a poem by Jenny Middleton at Spillwords.com

The X-Ray

The X-Ray

of my broken wrist is filed among the CDs I can’t throw away

written by: Jenny Middleton

 

every sunken scar is a sign
of injury and of healing

of a needle’s piercing to darn
every sunken scar. Is a sign

of a wound, a music of living
drunk into my flesh, of its thorn?

every sunken scar is a sign
of injury and of healing
