Scars
The toddler gasps for breath-
suffocating
and years later can’t swim
underwater holding breath
scar tissue is too stretched
to trust lifeguards
or priests, or grandparents,
or tight necked clothing
like a barber gown to catch the hair
or a choker of jewels
or an intimate mate exchanging
fluids, embraces and panting prana.
scar tissue has no give…
