old bruises. scars. closing wounds.



do you have feeling back in your knee? she fingers the scar at her throat.

i dont know.



five months later and i have to go to the restroom and pull up my pants to check. a dent still there in my calf. yes the bruise still there still brown and stubborn and lets see does it hurt? yes still hurts like a bruise should. my knee that purple gash that rises like a mountain off the skin 'no feeling' a feeling a weird tingle fuck it is nails on chalkboard.

a dent in my leg and i remember what from. the grille of a fast-moving car.

i chuckle to myself in the bathroom stall.
