Stripped

Sliced -

shoulder to hip:

organs and secrets

come tumbling out.

Cut -

forehead to nape:

brain and ideals

lost to the air.

My, how your

words,

presence

leave me bare.

Pierced -

straight through the eye:

tears and memories

come flooding out.

Shot -

now through the heart:

blood and love

spill into void.

My, how your

silence,

absence

strip me to core.
