This Skin

This skin I'm in
is
sober
thirty years today
this skin I'm in 
is 
tissue
paper thin and fey
this skin I'm in
is 
leather
flexible as clay
this skin I'm in 
is 
wrinkled
gravity has its say

This skin I'm in 
is 
old
teaching me my name
this skin I'm in 
is 
young
dancing like a flame
this skin I'm in 
is 
stupid
holding on to shame
this skin I'm in
is 
endless
the player and the game

This skin I'm in 
is 
tougher 
than pain or loss or hell
this skin I'm in 
is 
softer
a whisper and a bell
this skin I'm in 
is 
parchment
the stories it can tell
this skin I'm in 
is 
moonstruck
I'm living where I dwell
I'm loving HOW I dwell
in this skin
I'm in
