scar tissue
he is being put down as I write his plight
not unusual for a 9 yr. old british bully white
with one beige eye nothing else beige about
the guy
a hellion
a biter
still have scar inside right wrist a favourite
bit of poetforeskin bitten over+over+over again
he was polish like our father’s people best bullies
from polish puppymills massive heads bred to
take bulls down if need be flappy neckskin a lot
like me can withstand yanking+stretching in combat
i liked him best when shortsqueaks escaped his lips
immortalized on pgs. 51+82 of my book when he spoke
like this he sounded real that is like a human child
belonged to my skinnybro
childless like me
this madbully was our kid in first year alone 80,000
bucks in surgeries scars too numerous to count but
we’re no pussies when it comes to surgeries or scars
468 stitches held our father lee mother +brother marty
together
lee’s vertical
mother’s horizontal
forming a kind of cross
if u put them together
brother’s down below gruesome+scabrous
the sign of the cross keeps vampires at bay it just doesn’t
work as well on everyday run of the mill cancers heartstoppages
+general brokenness by 60
but the beauty of scar tissue is:
that come resurrection day
the scarred shall be first
