Nails

from Rubedo by Don Paris Schlotman

/

lyrics

Growing slowly
Day by day by day
A twenty set volume
Of recent history
Appendages of the skin
Hardened shells of keratin
Every single one tells
Such a slow story

We have to cut them all
Mindful of where they fall
Each one a part of you
And me
Keep it neat don’t cut the quick
Or leave things hang like a crucifix
Crescent slices
In perpetuity

Slowly growing
Night by night by night by night
An encyclopedia
Organic history
Dead cells pushing free
A protein armory
Every single one tells
Such a slow story

Clip them one by one
Or they’ll dig into your fun
Collecting nasty bits
Off the street
Trim them down, cut them off
Potential fungal Molotov
A termination to your
Digital meat
