poem

 Belongs to the Blade

How a scar belongs to the blade

By way of inscrutable intermediaries.

Its only agency is to fade.


The way pain belongs to loss—

Peace of mind, a dazed complacency

Never to arrive so easily again.


The way love belongs to helplessness

In the face of great mystery—

Hieroglyphic of the inexplicable

Lexicon of dyslexics

Cicatricial remnants of intelligence 


Even the simplest man fails to understand
