Storytelling Skin (Poem)

A micro-poem for National Poetry Day, on this year’s theme: Messages

Tattoos on my flesh

My under-flesh

The bit that covers all of me, but is unseen

Messages to myself of hate

And longing

And all the bad things that happened

Before your love came

And closed the wounds
