“Can you imagine the world if
We we only saw souls
Not bodies?”
- Unknown
Can you imagine the world if
I removed every piece of skin -
from my arms to my legs,
to the very edges of my face -
Peel them off one by one, until
All you can see is my flesh -
my very innards contracting,
muscles and bones moving
together.
A mechanism that cages beneath
The fibers and strands -
a shadow-beast,
a swirling pool of darkness.
a dark, unfathomable monster.
Can you imagine the world if
We only saw souls and not bodies -
if we only saw souls without
the masks we call “bodies?”
Can you imagine the world if
Shadows and monsters treaded the earth -
if from the other side of the pavement
a decaying carcass walks your way?
Run, don’t walk, my dear,
run, don’t walk.
