Shedding skin

Do not watch beyond this hour.
when the night arrows me down
and I am faced inwards
with my back split open
and every secret bleeding out.

Do not come find me
twisted around flesh
With bones in my hands
and a heart desperate
to see the next sun.

Do not question me
For my invisible companions
that sing their rain prayers within.

Do not forget who I am
Whilst I shed skin.
