A wound

I pretend I never had it.
That it is our little secret-me and the Noise.
Covered,Hidden,Safe.
Under sediments of an intangible mortar.
Sometimes distanced.
Rarely dissected.
Never displayed.
I protect it from the world,
So I can scratch it till it bleeds
So I can douse it with the salt from my eyes
In Private
I don't listen to its wails.
Brooks of Blood EXIT.
Pulsations of Pain ENTER.
Then I judge it.


Its magnificent.
