let me tell you about the dialogue i have

with my knees

they are pale and scarred

presumptuous purpleish yellow

I have never marvelled at beauty

on my body

until i saw my bruises

they fade into lilac sunsets

layers of radiating yellow and greens

golden rims morphing into

concentric rims of warning 

they hurt when you get too close

have you ever had something so sweet?

my bruises protect me from 

anything reaping the inside of my thighs

because i can scream

a shade of lilac sunsets and fading greens
