LITTLE WOUND

Make a hole
put something shiny there
something to converse with
your eyes, hair
all the places 
light rests
alert skin to make
new walls
the skin might try 
to swallow the intruder
take good care
apply antiseptic
pile hair with enough
twists and caverns
so power may settle
in the folds
remember your back
is happier 
when it’s straight
thank the little wound
for its submission.
