tattoos

It's warm on the floor
my back is full of dents
in the shape of a knot
the design of my carpet
on my chin is a reminder
of running down the stairs
of a corner of a glass table
it had a lace table cloth on
on the right side
on my lower lip
similar knot
and one tooth less
remind me of someone's inadvertency
of an importance of a single moment
an argument in a car
in the rain
which way should we take
there was blood and
mum was afraid
i'll stay toothless
it turns out
it was an exchange
a tooth for a knot
what worries me more is
a stain on the left side of my chest
because it means first bicycle
my impatience
a neighbour's tendency to drink
empty broken bottles
unrestrained pedal speed
that reminds me of
one Peter
and it seems i can't avoid that
even if the scar is invisible
now the smoke rises around me
and it looks like
a dad entering the room
full of seventy possible
carcinogenic substances in the lungs
everybody said
that we are similar
however
not enough
because i carry few more marks
while i walk or sleep
and nobody knows
the skin on my knee won't repair
same as a finger
on the left hand
i saw a bone once
because of a dull bread knife and
some anger
and winding lines
on my left calf
mean
summer
a bed of roses between us
my fear of dogs
if i would look towards my shoes now
i would see that the left one looks older
more used
my left side is heavier
all those years
and also
an elephant,a snake and two birds
in black
