You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely
You would not care, to see me naked these days, surely
as indeed, I do thee ..
And although, these words of mine, mouthed soft are
meant for you, entirely
I fear their meaning, might get lost, in their dubious
migration, as they dance
their way, from me to you, across the skies and seas ..
Indeed, each scar I wear
today, as God is my holy witness, I do bare for thee ..
And so remember this
dear heart, each stone they cast to drive me from thy bed
did once leave the hands
of hypocrites, and liars, who wear their own shells darkly ..
