The Unenviable Miss SlipSkin


Miss SlipSkin, how  inside-out
you pull your face as though
it were a fine-traced mask

Your tears warm your throat;
if they were words,
they would leap and shouyt

grotesque. Your stockings
clot your veins and golden tresses

invade your strange intestines.

Peeled again and again,
your truth grows thin,

Miss Unenviable Slipped and Skinned.
