people can hurt those they love

looking for that thin scar

visible on my right forearm

several inches from my wrist

just there

two inches long and deep

it doesn't cause me to lose any sleep

but it's a reminder

that people can hurt those they love

and sometimes the pain persists

in and out of the fog

and on a clear day

the horizon is motionless.
