Dig through the layers

Amateur archeologist

You can uncover clues

About what made you tick

Search beneath fallen columns

for the cause of death, the original sin

 

Peel back your history of mistakes

Written in crude cuneiform scars

That map veins and

Hieroglyphs of the mind

The results of a wine stain

Rorschach inkblot test

Blood blooms through the white shirt sleeve

 

Dig through folded layers of old clothes

Stacked like tree rings

A compact record of the past

Trace circles with your finger

Back to the original leaf of the first spring

Dig through the layers until there is nothing

And remember for a moment

How it felt not to be covered in layers.
