little bruise

hello, mysterious little bruise

you’re a little full of it because you know and I don’t

you hide all day beneath my skirt

and reveal yourself unannounced

interrupting my subconscious state of undress

hello, mysterious little bruise

just above my left knee

sticking out like the runt of a litter

mottled and flawed yet endearing

anomaly of the moles peppering my body

little bruise, you’re the impressive pattern of a moody sky

and can recall that moment

saturday night carelessless

angered blood vessells
