It's
covered
with
a
bandage
featuring
a
fuzzy,
brown
,
sad
-eyed basset hound.
Special
fingerprints
linger
on
it
.
I
often
rub
it
for
good
luck
when
the
days
are
hectic.
The
wound
is
no
more
.

a
small
piece
of
benign
me
was
removed
. needled
and
numbed
. prodded
and
poked.
the
angry
spot
didn't
weep
as
it
should
have
.
and
so
a
hole
was
punched
with
cutting
tool
in
a
nurse's
grip
i
couldn't
feel
.
i
became
an
open
sore
.
a
needle
threaded
and
tugged
through
skin
,
three
stitches
above
my
abdomen.
a
fleshy nub
of
me
floated
in
a
tube
of
alcohol
labeled
with
my
name
.
the
frankenstein
track
gave
an
inflamed
grin
in
the
mirror
.
now
i
must
wait
for
the
wound,
for
the
loose
ends
to
mend
over
what
was
taken
.
