observations from the barn door 17

we live in old skin
mottled
spotted
blotched
thin
each day brings some new thing
that wasn't there before
the years open us up
to every speck
to every stain
and on our hide it ingrains
itself and grows
hanging off our dermis like adorning cocoons
some bulbous as rose hips
some flat as moons
we have them cut off and frozen
we cover them and bleach them
and finally reach
the point
where there is nothing to save
except the bit that's left to be discarded
in the bottom of some forgotten grave.
