Skin, our outermost garment
tells our innermost story, reveals
Sins of commission and omission
shades of wax, a burdened liver
reds, an excitable heart
grays, worried kidneys
Art work by Yaron Rosner
There are the hardenings of defense
the thinnings of despair
the wrinkles coarse and strong
or fine and effaced
Each line and hue
tells the story of its bearer
points to a history
of doing and undoing
There is no hiding
The radiance of us all right out there…. beautifully and honestly said.
