Peeling

When my thermometers descend into blue oblivion

My skin turns frail as chalk, pale as the sickly entities taped

To my face in slivers of wilted skin. I peel. And peel. And peel.

The wind whisks the debris away from my fingertips

So I hold on to as much remains of my being as possible.

I plant a scrap of my body into the dampened winter soil.

I water it. I feed it cracks of sunlight from my bedroom window.

And I storm the heavens, praying it'll grow into someone beautiful.
