emails left on the telephone

needle marks in my skin
faint knives and razors
in place of blank canvas
i have not stopped
looking at my arms in years.
my fingers are worn
my head hung
against all the shame
associated with my (past?)
profession.
i cannot apologize
enough, or
repaint the picture
with a smoother
type of paint.
