As you age
in years and frustration,
which pieces of yourself, I wonder,
will you
add on
put on
spray on
brush on
re-color
re-shape and
apply?
Will they be equal
in weight and measure
to the pieces you
shave off
pull off
peel off
pluck out
work off and
cut off?
Will you love yourself
Live whole and forgiving
In this very skin,
The skin you were born in?
