The very first layer of my being 

As thin as the fine skin on your lids 

That creases when you close your eyes shut 

while the sunrise makes its bids 

The second, a catalyst 

Like your soul

Lets things in and won't blemish 

The third, a little bird 

I sing it a lullaby every other night 

There there, we can't let you out just yet 

Gotta keep you from that preying kite

Fourth? The bird's cage 

Stubborn like your mind 

There's no entrance 

For cash or kind 

Then there's a fifth, an explosive 

Just like your touch 

A whisk could turn me to ashes 

Can't complain so much 

And a sixth, a slow killing poison

Like your words when you pour aged whiskey on them 

And then cleverly neutralize 

with that dreamy look in your eyes 

And just like that 

You add a layer after another to my being 

With every sunset and moonrise 


I happened to look into the mirror this morning 

Weren't you bloody good at the job? 

That reflection - unrecognizable!
