how can I change what I am,
what the tangle of my genes read
and the sharp corners of my face.
how can I dilute myself to a soft shade of salmon sky
and smell as sweet as summer's sunset.
I keep chipping away at the parts of myself,
hoping to find some sparkle of gold,
but I just become less and less and less
