Remainder Cicatrix

 The thresher carbon copy
 attached itself to the base 
of the spine under the skin 
after it buried in and settled
 there through a series 
of multiple incisions.

It doctored these quickly 
with pain alleviating 
secretions. Cauterization 
set in rapidly and these 
nanobot assemblies were 
nothing if not efficient. 

It became understood that 
our eventual recovery 
from this temporal disease 
awaited in the interminable
span left of our lives except
we were the scars dealt out
our identities our own face
the exact shape of the wounds.
