Peeling layers

Of what we let the world see, people close to us see, for us to see, for no one

Of what we can trace, follow, guide, move

Of where eyes are fully open, aware, slightly closed, fully closed shut, squeezed tightly, or with a sliver of light

Of winter clothing, keeping us warm, comfortable, how comfortable, less comfortable, fully water proof, water seeping in

Of oranges in white winter snow, cold red fingers

Of skin, muscle, tendon, vessels, bones, of marrow

Of heart
