Scars 1997I wear my scars like badges.These deep marks show through from under my skin like war paint on an Apache chief. Decorated with feathers, the skins of his prey.
I have a scar over my left knee.
I have a scar on my right shin.
I have a circular scar on my left calf,
My cat scratched me on my wrist once
I tell people that if they wake up
