"Year of the Snake"

I shed a skin
I hadn't known
I had outgrown.

Rainbow scales spell
A venomless bluff.

Restoration

Becoming myself
Is a process
Of subtraction.
I peel the layers
I have painted over
My flaws.
I pick and flake
The vibrant scabs
Choking the healing
Of the wounds beneath.
Chaos of color swirls at my feet,
Shards of shame,
Coalesce in a rainbow storm.
I am reborn:
Naked,
Vulnerable.
