If I just could
pull the skin in one piece off my face
tearing slowly, strongly with my fingernails
baring the muscles
Then if I just could
pull the muscles away piece by piece
tearing slowly, strongly with my fingernails
baring the bones
Then if I just could
pull my eyes out of the sockets
tearing slowly, strongly with my fingernails
baring the empty gaze
Baring the truth of my face
Baring the grin of my skull
