Worn Words

What story do the things you wear tell about you?
Pankiewicz: Swans in the Saxon Garden
Every cut
every scar
every word
I have heard, written, spoken
has been
etched in my skin
carved on my face
inked on my bones
Every story
I have ever been
brought to life
with my pen
has a home
in my bones
on my face
flows through my veins
like warm blood, a soft breath, a laugh
a scream from the bottom of my soul
from the darkness of my heart
where the light has never been
Edouard Manet
I wear it all
for you to see
for me to feel
I am story
told on cold dark nights
when the fog creeps in
and you are all alone
with me.
