i saw the scar across the realtor’s wrist

Zoe Canner

i saw the long

recent scar

across the

realtor’s wrist

and i wanted

to kiss it

but didn’t

my instincts are

calamitous &i

frequently

overstep

the boundaries

of strangers

i saw her sweet

eye contact &i

ran my fingers

over the new

pearl-shaped

bump on the

landscape

of my own

unending

forehead

instead
