Double Edged - 2. Shins

Speaking of shins, mine are whores

with enticing come-ons to any

accidental knock or scuff or outright

attack as long as new scabs and then

scarring can be added to the existing

mass destruction after the years of

blood and bruise – I mean, a stranger’s

look could rip the skin it’s so thin from

whatever is actually left of flesh on the

narrow bones, and I swear my shins

can’t last two weeks without going to war

which would also explain the axe

injury not that anyone could give a

reason no matter how hard they tried.
