How You Wear Your Scars


Were you his first
Did he tailor his fists to your torso
like a well fitted silk shirt
his knee to your neck
like a stiff high collar
his foot to your fingers
like a long lacy cuff
and call you
his muse
Very haute couture

Were you the next off his rack
Did his fists rap your torso
like factory made fibers
his knee to your neck
like machine stitching
his foot to your fingers
like cheap stretched sleeve fabric
and call you
common
Very pret-a-porter

Ugly forced fashion
from a diseased designer

Wear your scars
down the courthouse runway
even if your heels wobbly
and see your couturier
set up in his own house
accessorized with gates
and guards
and chain link fences
Very second hand bargain basement
that's closed for business
