The Healing Process

by Joan Serratelli

I write
a paper bandage
long passages of bandages
I write
ointment
ointmenting
lines
salve of words
lines slashes on
white paper
bandages
words
in black on white
wrap around wound
bitter the scar
I wrap in paper
scars deep
never heal
smear hack
salt pepper
black white
the problem?
paper does not feel
a salve of words
write on paper
