as a kid
i had a birthmark on
the back of my neck.
my mom called it
“a strawberry spot where
the stork bit you”. but today
jay told me that birthmarks can
tell of how you died in a past life.
if the mark goes away, then
you have lived past your previous self.
the pink mark is long gone, left behind is
only a very shallow dip in the skin.
it leaves me to wonder what
could have happened to me
when my soul was in a different body.
