Scar
by Helen Barter
Angry purple scar of keloid swollen pain.
Heat from healing - radiating and engulfing
the surrounding air in a hot, ugly hurt.
Sliding of fabric -
a tremble of anticipation.
The cooling whisper of an in-breath,
before your soft mouth imparts tender ministrations of love -
judiciously igniting a fire to forget all scars.
