Birthmark Poem by Henry Tong

Birthmark

Rating: ★4.0


A stirring silhouette,
a fall of grace.
A blooming bud of peony,
a scar forever stamped.

Precisely measured stroke
a gift of uncertain joke.
Absorbed stares and sneers
and disdained the Tarot seers.

An impregnable armor,
a pool of hopeless stain.
A mark that creates body
a mark never changed by me.
