On Fragility [poem #2]

My skin is thin.
I feel your guilty expression,
I feel your fingers pull away at certain moments,
It cuts
Sharp
I hear the thoughts and the lies and the recordings of imperfections...

And then I bury it.
I bury it because
There is so much pain
In the thinness

I scale down to my sub-self
Paint the sky black around her
Dig deep into the nothing of the cemetery of my soul

Bury it until the pain dies of suffocation...








I still feel it.



It's still breathing.
