Highlighted Pulse

I'll listen to whats meant to evoke emotion

I'll burn my forearms with scalding tap

where you can see the bloodlines

even if they're still tender

three days later

even if i can still remember what it feels like

three years from now

veins painted on with watercolour strokes

sketched with multicoloured pens or

traced with basic highlighters

gone now

to the heat of the water

and the memory of how it felt
