A sharp, a diamond or awl
scribes an irreversible line
into metal or wood or glass.
To press to express
to make a permanent mark
on a hard surface.
To score is to keep
to measure, to cross
from one place to the next.
Someone enters a parlor
asks to be inked, to be storied
on skin for life.
Someone stabbed & sedated
as a way to stabilize
to start to heal.
