Open Wound

One cycle of the moon it has been, and this wound still left open, being patched in negligent care, holding the intermittent drip of blood, unstitched.

There will be pains, but the needle needs to start piercing the skin into the flesh to start the healing. Let the string of ligature sew the parted sides together. There will be seam, and the scars may remain, but it will be the mark of the remedy, a diary entry written on the body. Yet, the seam will be much better memory than the dry spot of neglected wound.

Would you?
