Skin and Bones

And suddenly, I see you
And you have no clothes, or skin or flesh
I see your bones
And I see the layers above them
And I see you in the most cold, biological way
And I imagine your shoulders moving,
Your mouth, your arms, your face
I see your muscles contracting
I see them pulling
I see them moving you
In the most literary sense of the phrase
And I’ve broken you down into pieces
And I’ve seen the blood moving out of your heart
I’ve seen you without any boarders, barriers, walls or dividers
I’ve seen you as skin and bones,
I’ve seen you as all that we are.
