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
