An Intimacy of Scars

You are wrought with scars,
circumstantial skin that could never find its double.

I drew maps of you
in your month-long absence,
never once getting you right.

You said you were missing
a certain part of your life.
I said I miss it all.

But what could we get back
that couldn't be undone
as before, within a day?

The quick plans return,
our eccentricities,
I believe the silence knows itself,
its chant louder than we:
"What rights have you to bliss?"
We are an intimacy of scars.
