The Naked Poem
I can’t do poetry with my clothes on. There are words along my ribs that are invisible unless this skin is naked I got memories burned along the insides of my thighs that people need to know about from nights worth tattoos and long runs where the chafing isn’t so much a metaphor for life as life is a pale metaphor for the chafing sometimes poetry with your clothes on hurts!
