Dancing With A Sunburn

I wrote my first poem in seventh grade
but never really started writing poetry
until I felt the burn of the backside
of the worlds open hand
against my skin
and it seemed like a sun burn
but it seeped inside my bones and
bared with me until I often forgot it was there
only reminded by the scar it left me
sometimes I feel it dancing
stuck between the grooves
in my fingertips
and wrapped around the inside
of my sense of self
so I guess it’s not going away anytime soon
which is fine ‘cos
I never wrote poetry until I needed to
(and it never danced with me until I found the rhythm)
