The first
An accident
The second as well
But the sensation became addicting
The tingling
The burning
The third time
White turned yellow
An audible sizzling as it bubbles
Staying put until unbearable
A Throbbing
Pulse
Reminding me
Watching the colors form
A small patch of skin now as my emotion
Nerve endings destroyed
Numb
A new permanent addition forming
To the gallery
Of moments
