the unmaskingA Poem by sea lily
when i'm spoken to too kindly,
it's the unmasking. i used my sleeve to furiously rub, traitorous tears away. and white powder solidified on my arms (like clay.) and trying to explain, i need art to staple me to the ground, now lies hold together my life. so when my cheeks flush red and my eyes run wet, it's not your well-meaning soliloquy it's just me.
