Poem of the Day
Stigma(ta)
Primal comfort from picking scabs,
Taken from 'Radical Normalisation'...short but sharp and jagged nails punctuating healing wounds, again. Triplicate painful pressure pleasure; high from finger tip control. Something else we cannot leave alone, like mosquito bite itches and some unwhole men... women too. Why not point out our st.igme wounds like signposts, even when self made, parade them proudly to the world? |
