the body's emergency broadcast, written in blood and stitched in time
means a physical injury where the skin or flesh is broken or torn, or by extension an emotional hurt that lingers.
from From Old English 'wund,' a noun meaning hurt or injury, with deep roots across the Germanic family — related to Old Frisian and Old High German 'wunta' and Dutch 'wond.' The same word served as both the gash and the verb for inflicting it, a directness that has survived unbroken for over a thousand years.
