Festering, like fallout, memories
get locked inside the scars
time blows over a depression.
Stuck in a crevice and forgotten
until scrapes scour the rock
clean of yesterday to release
all that is rotten. Raw and bleeding,
the past exposed to the antiseptic
wash of fresh air. Now clean;
true healing begins.
The best of the last couple of days at least. Crystal clear imagery.Possibly one or two words could be pared from the last couple of lines or so - but maybe not. Thanks, enjoyed this one very much.
but however one interprets it, it's wonderful writing. There's just enough alliteration and assonance to give it a nice lyricism and you have great phrasing with economy of language if you know what I mean. xo, S.
