Limitations of Skin

 

 

Two particles flash red

Connected through birth or

A secret knowing   

Doppelgängers of each other

Except one hides behind sun and

One dances around just out of my reach

Do I have any of these in me?

If only I had light things like this    

So my eyes or lips would emit light

Perhaps my bones would

An anglerfish in a heavy ocean

But for now I lie awake to disappear in darkness

Thank you! I haven't shared my poems with many people so I've had no idea whether they are the least bit enjoyable to read, haha. Thanks for the feedback!
