U

A
                                      Mark
                                 On my skin
                          A dot that grows within     
                  Not scar or birth mark, black or red
            Neither a mole nor a thumb mark that shred
                Spot I erased, clot swelled and braced
                       A live mark that flows in me
                             Heart-shaped I dig
                                And praised
                                    It's just
                                       "U"
