SONG FOR AN ACCIDENT
(copyright 2005 David Wolfson and Barbara De Cesare?)

A low slung scar, the tissue there is tough.
Beneath it, wire sews up your cheekbone
Because you rode too fast, not fast enough,
Or didn’t see, or did, and then were thrown.
It’s beautiful, there, that sealed wound.

I see it as I love you; whole, imperfect, true.
I see it as I love you, as honest as a cut was meant to be.

In the dark bed my lips trace over you
And search your skin for the new map drawn there,
Where you lay dozing low in your pillow.

I want to kiss the flaws that brought you here,
I want to kiss the flaws that brought you here:

The wrong turns, the bad breaks, the crash and throw
That sent you off your path. I love them all:
The spin, the stop, the flying and the fall.
