A wound is fatal when it heals from the surface but in roots develops a septic that stems from being infested. When external elements invade it before it sealed it's own. While some ooze , others dry, fresh beyond the first layer and pain seething inside. Now the clot and the cicatrices are the apparent signs of healing and time remains no caliper to measure the extent. No external remedy can heal it, it would not be soaked in now. The wound has become immune to remedy by sewing itself close from the skin. The scar will have to be broken again, rather it should be cut. The shrapnel that had twitched itself within will have to be pulled by a healing force and uprooted, it may lead to a swell of blood but to drain the malice is the only way to heal. Instantaneous but sharp pain removes it's chronic counterpart. Scars do not always point to healing. Do they?
extracting the shrapnel which has entrenched over the years is next to impossible..akin to severing own body. in such a case its better to let it be than disturb it maybe. Beautiful piece anyway :)
ReplyDeleteIt is just convenient to do that.We let the wound dry, concealed in a bandage. The ruptured surface binds itself but the pain, it stays.Leaving the shrapnel inside is akin to self mutilation, just that the bleeding would not be obvious but it would not heal.It should be extracted unless of course self punishment is the idea behind it.
