Scars and Ashes 30 August 2009

Old hurts sealed

by retelling

Scored into

permanent scars

painful sores

wholly ours



Ashes blow in the wind

disperse

Stick in the throat,

tickle, sting, sear

Anthracite coals

of final fire

cloud second sight



Never, never does past pain

resolve into nothingness



Our scars are always with us

Our ashes soil the now
