scratching surfaces.
pen, paper.
fingernails, skin.
[language is a skin:
i rub my language
against the other.
it is as if
i had words
instead of fingers,
or fingers at
the tip of my words
barthes]
soul friction.
raw chafing.
unable to
penetrate dermis
to meat.
cord cut.
leaving
blood spilling
from organs
untouched.
fractured fascia.
punctured psyche.
broken being.
etching fresh scars onto
structures
still healing.
hemostasis undone.
