tender wound you bleed,
oh, so slow it cries,
weeping into holy cloth,
growing heavy until black,
aging into rot deep.

tender would you bleed,
oh, throbbing hard and loud,
a beat as thunder,
heat as fire,
slow, oh so slow 


The author's comments:

you cannot keep going if you have an open wound, take time to rest and give it the opportunity to scab and heal before you start up again. if you do not allow yourself time to heal then you'll bleed out or get an infection. 

rest.
