do not take cover
inspiration is deep inside us all. fight the urge to run from it.
May 17, 2021
take off your covers
& peel off your skin,
it’s a damn good thing
to be naked.
conquer the dread
that binds your liver,
saps your kidneys,
makes a morning shiver.
ask not what you sought,
but what you fought
in the evenings when
your fingers trembled.
pretend you & the rain
are just friendly lovers,
peel off your s k i n.
& whatever you
d o,
do not, do not, do not
take cover.
