Image for the poem Upon My Skin

Upon My Skin

Apitoxin was infused
from your subtle stinger,
as if a bee left wounds
over and over,
as tokens to keep forever,
except that I died every time.

I became a smudged canvas
with haunting words,
pierced over and over,
the carved stamps within my psyche
emerging upon my skin,
so my pain could be seen.
