Scarring<br />
Jennifer A. McGowan<br />
The slice through clean skin:<br />
rivulets of red, your favourite colour,<br />
branch over my chest in<br />
echoes of your fingertips. Severed<br />
nerves go into shock; pain and<br />
tears will come later, and will<br />
pass. It’s absence I can’t bear,<br />
the whiteness of lack. You will<br />
make your mark. I reach into<br />
the urn, pull out a handful of<br />
grey, rub it into the cut.
