Stripped Down



"Stripped Down"

Stripped down
the external shed,
snakes aren’t what you think

stripped down 
the external shed,
skins hung on a beam 

overhead,
hanging souls 
and their fangs

penetrating

Stripped down,
you hear me now?
Stripped down 

inside 
outside,
upside down

Stripped down,
what you looking at now?
Reflection 

inside
Light,
outside

power

"And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could."
