Getting under your skinA Poem by Rachel CooperI saw your skin crawl Like an ant farm has formed inside you And I fear that they are eating away at you From the inside out And that some day they may break through your skin Ripping you like the seems of a doll And leaving you on the ground
Where you are nothing but your fist layer Resembling the rind of the once red fruit Whose juice poured out of your mouth Like you and you entirety pour onto the floor From the absence of the external you
That crawled away from you At the hands of the thousands and thousands of ants That made your skin crawl In the first place © 2008 Rachel Cooper |
