Then writing again, only to read.
Like the bug bite from May—
I scratched until it bled. It scabbed
By July, but I picked at it
Every month since. Now,
In August, a pink, round dot
On my wrist—probably forever.
If I’d left well enough alone,
Shown some restraint,
There’d be no story—
No scar to share.
