Susan's Recovery

Incredibly swift. 
Lipskin sheds in sheets.
Shrinking lipsize.

Speech returns.
Sheep gut remains, holding steady
For scar growing.

Foods become welcome
in small dose.
Stand by soy and whey-
I need you only sometimes.

Stitches
masquerade as
insects and
tickle
lips.

Sunshine, though rare, stinging, threatens scarring.
Lucky me.
Too.
