Under The Skin


My outside skin no longer fitted me well,

didn’t always represent me

didn't look like I still feel

like I still am.


So I dispensed with it,

wrote it off,

turned it

inside out

and now I’m intact

in the pink

myself 

at last

I think.


And therefore I am

the same person

under the skin.

I’m sure I am.


The outside has changed

but inside my skin

I am still intact

in the pink

of myself 

as before.

I think

I am.

    Through the Glass Alice saw herself in her looking glass and walked through into a topsy turvy world where everything was back to front and inside out. She drifted into a dreamscape of madness and unreality,   without breaking the glass. Uncut by the shards of her mirror   or the place she entered into. She had only to wake to make   things the right way round again. But walking through a clear glass, a transparent window, it would have been different. Her reflection would float   towards a place where everything   seemed the right way round. Where everything made sense and added up sweet with reason. A place without madness, which looked easy to enter and had no sharp edges. Apparently. But this glass forms an invisible barrier to the other side and the life that seduces and entices her. And to get through she has to break the glass, whose sharp edges cut her and propel her crazily into a place where she cannot wake. A jagged, topsy turvy place   where everything spins round wildl
