pick the scab until it bleeds/find the shard caught underneath

pick away the faded crack
bones charred bright with skin laid back
arms akimbo/ribs are slack
sightless eyes and ears pulled back

ream the abcess
sew the gore
leave the drainings on the floor
scrape away and use no more

finding the heart of a thorn
finding the root of a tomb
finding the way from before
