------------
Superficial
------------

the peels
each a jabbing, scratching, lifting
stable, solid, Remaining
yet smaller left with each

As protection wards off
and a lost color, between--
a response in cursing--
--each making tears artificial
--regardless of the benefits
and turning back in disregard

It does live,
Feeling, yet shown not
it itself masks
not truly, but
must--must
it’s selfish--
selfless

Don’t they know
don’t they see
the absorbing, in
origin waters
it lasts
remains
truly remains
truly superficial

What’s shown’s not seen
what’s daring not to be,
seen
