Who are you when no one is looking?
TV static airborne
Catatonic
Feet engraved in wood
Nostrils blind to roses
Phone call blocked
Sorry, busy as a reply
Who are you when no one is looking?
Mirror bends
Bones twisted
An eye for an eye
I've made this body sick
I've abandoned who never left me
Ear lobes bending sheetrock
Keep the tears in
Who are you when no one is watching?
Bible highlighted
Research paper pinned
Questions lingering
Lips bitten with chattering teeth
Who am I to question-
But,
Malleable mind
I must shape this
Hemisphere's strengthen
Earth's core rattling femurs
Backwards now nonexistent
Who are you when no one's looking?
Everything you're too afraid to be with eyes scanning your spine?
Everything you're too afraid to show with attention stinging your skin?
Something slippery and wicked?
Something dense and unmovable?

Draft Deleting? Don't Do It!
Today, I had a little time. I decided that I would have a look at the drafts that I have on Vocal. This is part of a long-term wish to have everything I've written on paper rather than virtually. I've not looked at them for weeks and something drew me to them, just to browse and see what was there.
