Skinned

by Arunansu   Mar 30, 2008


Her fingertips play on my bark,
tapping a rhythm

I put to paper
the sketches in her

she makes me circumvolve
inside a sharpener,
peeling off streamers of sheath.

At times these ribbons
get coated in a range of colors
forming wooden petals.

Sure, my epidermis
won't regenerate,
but she has paid the price.
