Inspired by a chat with Linda Ong, from Lunarin. This one’s for you, Linda O. 
STILL STANDING
==========
Being cut
Up
Did me a lot of good.
When you
Saw me in the hospital later
Your first words were:
I have never seen
You so calm.
And you
Were right, you know?
I was calmer
And better
The scars were almost
Faded like a lost song
What’s important is that
Here
I am
A little thinner
But still standing.
