Sit in dark places
let the stripping away
begin from foot to ankle
to knee to belly
let the layers peel off
fall like scales
let them rot around you
shed your skin
turn over your life
make do
with what's
left
don't expect
new skin
better
more
recovery
limp along
half exposed
half covered
all the way
bruised
get used
to living
without
