so which one will i choose to have more?
it is easy to get used to a scar
forget its initial cry and instead
find the magic of a hero
in its permanency
though only yesterday i learned
to flour the sides of a slice
of butter and build a bed of lemon
for a good meal overdue
one is a mark on the body
the other the mind and
until i’m an old woman
both will be a part of me
