dignity

a lie we clothes ourselves in

the wire in our bones

holding our puppet selves stiff

born without it

die without it

most meaningful moments bereft of it

flopping free

raw, messy

naked, nakeder

nud-est

we say

that's not me

I wasn't myself

step back

fastidious

ew

disgusted by ourselves

we shroud ourselves to the last

in dignity

Thank you for reading!
