i am skin today
just skin
soft, pale, very tense
underneath are claws of anger
moving slowly up and down
you can see them pressing firmly up against

such a sharp persistent movement
in an anger that's held down

i am skin today
just skin
dark, gleaming, very thin
flickering from my lust
glistening hot
my need my want
slowly burning like a fire underneath

what high flames and crashing lightnings
from a pressed down yearning heat

i am skin today
just skin
very fragile, blistered, bruised
stretched out thin above
a boiling mix of
fears and tears
like an ocean with long waves and silent deeps

there was never any trust
in an ocean with that taste

i am skin today
just skin
waiting for a touch, a blow
and nobody will be sure
if it strikes, if it burns
or if it all just sucks you in
i wouldn't even know myself

cause today
i am just skin
