Map of Flesh

Where has it been?
It was mother’s and father’s perfect
And then—

What does it show?
An encasing color
Without me—

Where does it go?
Underneath and then
Gone.

Should I love it before?
What part?
The clean or the rot?

All of it?
But it is treacherous.
It is treacherous skin.

And it is mine.
Must I follow?
