This is me:

laconically bored

sitting in the stands

watching from above.

This is me:

focused on the moment

tracing a rune

across the killing floor.

This is not a mirror,

a simple reflection,

rather, a dissection,

a slow flay, where

skin peels off

in thin sheets until

only raw red bits

of sin cling to bone.

I am a myriad,

shattered.

I am a scar,

angry and raw.
