I no longer feel my skin shed

I no longer feel my skin shed

A Poem by Veronica R. Craft
"

Am I getting rid of something? or Am I losing myself? Honestly, it doesn't matter because I can't feel it anymore.

"
Last night, I was rotting in my bed
like a dusty giant animal;
the moon was eating the stars
with her glimmer, the silver light,
blinding them with her shivering bright,
bind by the thread of fate.
Every being I ever saw is crawling
in the deepest pits of earth.
I, too, am striving to-
inhale the air, oh, how to breath,
does anybody know?
My skin is falling, bit-by-bit
I can see it, how my body bleeds.
But- why it is not hurting?
like an onion, I'm stripping down my being.
Will I be nude? or,
Will I lose myself?
