The surgery of pen

Youthlines

Legs crossed, she thought.

Many words for a story.

She scribbled it down to not forget.

She wore no gloves of vocabulary,

And no mask to the odour of truth.

Using a scalpel, she stitched with words;

The thread slowly inserted into the fabric skin.

Slowly, wounds of drought

Bound to thaw,

And only the birthmark of scar remains.
