I'll pack myself in with my winter clothes
Wrapped in bulk, swept away with cotton
Romance and turtlenecks. Let your season
Unfold into the air. Naked with your pores
Telling the world your story. I never meant to share.
Now that the secrets out, why try to stay warm?
We are who we are and I never want to be who I was
Again. Spread me out and tuck me in. I'm breathing
bare breaths in my brand new skin. A butterfly of moments
Sheltered by the sun. Let the glare surround me
and my spirit shall not come. I flutter away from
Beauty and fly towards sensation. Still, my body
Is here and nevertheless alone. Taking it upon myself
Has never felt so much like home.
