Wound Healing

Injured, inflamed.

In color,

In French, a button, Int-

Red bead

Weep

Amber fluid.

Hopefully, no blood

Builds back. Drop a brick,

Layer over layer.

Trust the dermis

To support a vulnerable

Epidermis.

Cement hope, bind

Top t-to — top— pop,

Hodge on podge.

Each cell of you

Constructs

Scars like Mars

Bars by next noon so

Soon, a dot is it,

Love, a picked zit.
