Bleeding
by
Zvi A. Sesling
Punched nose, pricked finger,
slashed wrist, punctured leg,
ripped hemorrhoid, all gush
blood at the instance of occurrence
same as a gashed foot, sliced
thumb, bullet holed chest, stabbed
heart which could be a physical or
mental wound, the former with
blood turning to black scab then
pink scar, the latter leaving a black
hole which may heal or not
