Skin Thin as Paper
One day he wrote a page
a style not his own
sex and a hint of danger
by surprise out of wedlock.
“I hate old skin,” she said.
“There’s no way out of it.”
He thought, part make-up,
part obligation: a thin map,
main character, tangible roots,
recovery, dis/loyalty. Options
blowing in the mind,
knew for old.
