Suchita Senthil Kumar
I sink ink into my skin
where the ghost of his lips rest,
carving wings of tangled bones
and my shredded skin for feathers.
Angry blood rushes to the tips
but it clots as though it knows,
knows I need this winged embellishment
painted over my wrist
to remind me
this skin is mine—not his.
