Safer

see me close up like a portal
in a science fiction flick
try to squeeze in, you wont fit well
breaking yourself in two might do the trick
see me close up, beg if you will
I wont hear you as I close
behind this layer I am safer, still
underneath...i am exposed.

Skeleton on the walk of shame

shrink down me
this tiny thing
whose flesh hangs
round a failing frame
heart pounds aching
body shaking
skeleton on the walk of shame
