Impressions
All things pass,
Leaving their scars
Upon our skin.
Moments of ecstasy.
Trauma.
All of it, fleeting
Yet stubborn,
Fixed in its place.
The remains are there
For all to see,
A reminder not of who I am,
But of how
I have been made.
What can I be
But a palimpsest of
My experiences?
Shaped by how
I have lived.
Living by how
I have been
Shaped.
…impressions… very well put, I love it….
