Tender Poem by Charles Malcolm

Tender



I am ready
to make a peace sign
and spread my wounds
for you.
To show you what
doctors
friends
bartenders
even priests
have only pretended to heal.

I am ready
for you.

The heaviness
of not knowing
outweighs
the ponderous consolation of my scabs
and
I have no more blood
for myself.

I am ready
to bleed
for you.
