This welt upon my chest
The bruise that marks your thumb—cuneiform notations
Shorthand for
Extended conversation about undiscovered worlds
Documenting gaps in understanding
That lie between your blade and mine
Inking random thoughts
Incidental to the main thrust of our arguments
Theories tested and discarded as
We work through possibilities
These transient records fade
The vellum healed, rewritten
Time on time on time
As our exchanges loop, progress, stall
Turn back upon themselves and
Finally leap forward
To enlightenment
A fresh bruise blossoms, introducing the next chapter
