a wound open, not healing

a wound open, not healing

infected, oozing,

puss, other discharge

needing more attention

staples, stitches being pulled out

without anesthesia, unclean

unsanitary conditions

buried deep, infected

a part of the skin

the body, the flesh

trying to remove

but it is not easy

the infection awakened

putting up a fight

trying to remove the ink from the milk

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2019/06/trying-to-remove-ink-from-milk.html

imagery - not putting the toothpaste

back in the tube; but removing

a drop of ink out of a gallon of milk

or like fully removing kudzu

or the roots of dandelions from land.
