SHED YOUR SKIN.

John Rohner


Screaming trumpets
firery balls of flame
forever to build
your false name
showing you to begin
to shed your skin.
Shed your skin,
your outer layer
Tough, unbroken
penetrator
Shed your skin
then let us see your eyes
big and blue
with nothing else to do
no more lying 
no more hiding
from what's inside
standing naked
vunerable
pink and red
and blue
this i'd like to see.
