Metamorphosis


Somewhere, a man is


undressing in front of a mirror - his

butter skin, carved with wrinkles,


blood, green and swelling inside

wormy veins. His cold lips, deflating


as their stale breath drains out from

his eyes, and I've been sitting in my


study for hours, not writing, just staring.

First at the air, then the dust, then at my


drinking glass, which is empty but for

a few kindred ice cubes at the bottom,


silently growing into water.
