Flesh

Each day, my rotten flesh

Is being picked away.

 

The scabs blossoming

With their rosy red smiles,

So crystalline

And bright.

 

And as I shed my winter coat,

The sad mass of green goo,

A figure, raw and sick,

Is left behind.

 

From thick

To thin.

 

Now ******

And bare,

 

Somehow this spring breeze

Is more like poisoned air.
