Skin in Nauseum
July 1, 2016
i.
In dampness- I scratch my leg
gathering grey mush
beneath my nail beds
curling it into a ball
flicking it down the drain.
ii.
My finger- a raw fruit
peels in irritation, peach shaded
grows in reddish gradient
with every layer peeled away
leaving remnants of white shavings.
iii.
In dryness- I brush my face
watching the lifeless cells fall
through transparent air
collecting in banks
a pile of snow that never melts.
