Boarding With Burns

When I first boarded my plan home to Massachusetts 13 days ago,
I had a burn on my right middle finger.
I’d gotten it a week prior from my oven door, and in the Idaho dry air
it refused to heal.
Today, when I boarded my plane back to Idaho,
in the Massachusetts moisture,
the burn on my right middle finger had almost healed
visible, scarred, and sore to the touch,
but
almost healed.
I suppose this isn’t a poem about my finger, is it?
