My earliest memory is the sting of iodine.
Settling into the flaps of skin
that remained with, when
the rest, deposited
among the rocks.
So, it should not surprise me
now, a few decades later,
running- wild, reckless
as back road flowers- I find the same
knee meeting stone.
Gravel and gravity share
a root word, after all.
