Now in Red Hills Review
Skinned
Having successfully pulled off my skin
I lay it atop the pallid mannequin.
Free now,
I begin taking her apart.
She can work at different clubs,
maybe she can do a U.S. tour.
I’ll send my hands to Seattle,
keep my head in New York,
send my legs to L.A.
I’ve been struggling with where to send my belly,
but Las Vegas is sure to have my ass.
And the leftovers? Who’s to say?
I’ve always been good at cutting things off,
finding places to hide them.
