Pressure Point

It’s too hot for wool, but I’m wearing it anyway.

I don’t want to see the questions in your eyes.

The mark on my arm is a yellowing stain,

a quiet map of where the pressure lies.


It’s the shape of a thumb, a dark, heavy smudge,

a physical memory I can't quite budge.

It doesn't even hurt now.
