scar tissue

by Angela Thomas

i realized something when he finally
called -- i could not go through
this trial if he had not broken my heart.
the leather, the binding, the stitches,

they are stronger than mere flesh.
he was cruel and unusual and made
me into something, someone, stronger,
thank god. but i will not let him undo

these bandages and expose once more
beneath them the raw and futile flesh.
he gave me scar tissue in a deep place
that still was soft. i needed him to make

me ready for her. to tear me apart, give
me something to rebuild. so i could mend. for her.
