Scrapes and Scratches
No harm done
Just one more and then
No More.
Promise.
One more
dig
a little deeper
Red wells, greets my intrusion
Welcomes,
Encourages,
Blinds.
...deep breath...
one
two
three
Quick, determined
Short, sharp,
sudden white gash
Clean and empty before
the rush.
Familiar crimson
fills, floods,
flows.
The door is open
Just.
Step.
Through.
