Germany - 19/08/20

A Poem by Dom

I have no hide;
raw and childlike;
an infant with no skin on

Savlon body, smeared
through blood and sinew,
antiseptic
only tears and re-tears the tissue

Weird girl made woman;
made numb - help !
I'm burning, boiling over;

I'm too young -
arrested, anaemic
and bleeding constantly
I can't bear to be sexy, nor ugly

G-d !
or someone ...

Teach me to turn myself into something worth saving

Hineni, Hineni

There's a scar on my leg where I cut myself shaving
