When Thinking Of Scars
When Thinking of Scars
I have heard that Buddhists ask
what one should do in a world filled
with sharp stones?
Should we cover the world with
soft leather, so that we might walk
where we will?
Or should we simply cover
our feet?
I tend to wear thickish shoes,
my skin so thin.
