same skin and scars

"same skin and scars"

a cool, salted harbor breeze greets

exposed skin. at the docks the gulls
laugh at her skinned knees and sun-bleached

hair. she wore brown badges
of summer on her cheeks and

nose. the nights were spent
recoiling from the same secret shadows

that hid in closets at home.
