Shedding Again

 With bittersweet acid

in the marrow and

the tightness of expansion

I prepare to shed my skin

again, I am

raw underneath and

dreading

and

anticipating

something more beautiful

and light

when the cool breezes find

new scales,

flexible to the touch.

But right now,

sometimes,

I feel it too much.

The only way out

is through.

I will leave a part of me

behind.
