It was a long time ago
though these marks
one not only sees,
she feels them
on skin and bone and muscle
more deeply in soul and heart
these bruises are the sort,
in any usual corporeal sense,
where a doctor might say
we should probably
run a few tests
maybe some blood work
ask a few pertinent questions
if all results are negative
then we take a wait and see
until next time
