Humanity

My skin is forever forgetful
And while its a virtuous cycle,
 The scrubbing and choking on 
        Soot and Sinew
My tender epidermis rapidly decaying to regenerate
For the cells to then wither once more.
 I drag my nails along the residue
The experience flaking away en masse
All evidence fades as I shed and
          shed again.
