Caustic Deep Puncture Wound

The wound seeps and drains its fluids

Around the feverish swollen area of the

Initial attack.  Pea sized shapes of plasma

Drip down to the calloused elbow sliding

Along like rain on a pane of glass. In its

Company a stinging sensation arouses

The victim once again to the skin burning

Off the affected area.  The frigid wind can

Be felt on the blood bright skin setting off areas

Of higher and lower sensation.  As the

Dead skin is abraded excessive heat is felt

Along with the stinging sensation robbing

The body of its last endorphin.

As the hydrogen peroxide is poured over

The area it sizzles and bubbles up over

The deep puncture wound releasing a

Noxious odor into the air.  The iodine is

Now applied which feels like the caustic effect of

Pouring a 10 percent hydrochloric acid

Solution after you skin has been set on fire.

After several pangs of acute shock to the area

The patient is bandaged up and released home.
