Dropped vinegar,
On raw wounds.
Searing, cleaning,
Yet burning brightly,
Matching sunrise over
Sweltering mornings.
Purification latching.
Teeth in clutch,
Weakness hushed.
Disciplined frame,
Stronger than cries.
And veins pulsing,
Rushing, heart rate
Drums finely along.
Well done wrap of
Ashen gauze upon
The tissues scarred.
