Skin To Shed

Skin falling off
like a rainfall of glass.
Watch me shatter as i
hit the floor.
Watch me cut
right through your veins.

Your blood drips like
stalactites in a cave.
It stains the floor
and crackles as
it dries.

I have had enough
of this bitter truth.
Your moments are useless
and I,
I am hopeless.

Time to shed
this skin again.
I form my cocoon.
Another rebirth as a worm.
I can't fly away
with wings that refuse
to form.

Glaciers fall to earth again
and crashing stars sink ships.
I ponder how many hands
would rise to bid
if I were to place
a price-tag on
these bones.
