you set the tools

You are ready to embark in a ritual

You lay the tools

you get the pieces

You measure the pieces,

you make an inventory

you prepare the ground

the fit has to be perfect

you draw an outline

you scrap the surface

you start carving slowly

flushed it will be

you dig,

you have to insure the perfect incision, 

You blow softly to see better

you dust, you brush, for a better measure

once in place, it is placed for eternity

you just secured the perfect inlay

you preserve what was taken away from the body

the scar has to last, preserved and embraced, protected

and purified by the softness that is no longer

the scar impregnated each body

it is safely kept, and you are forever wounded

you start again
