Underneath



Underneath

Behind the smiles, in the dark
Hidden and soon in the darkness
The cracks become the pathways
Seen and recognized the faces quickly turn away

Pained and cut the whips lash about
In the artesian wells of life hands reach out
Only bodies are seen and limits are where ecstasy resides
Cries and slippery skin is human oil and gin decides

Down in the gender palaces where queens are king
There’s no line between, all asking for the taking
Rings away do not hide the truth, death of fidelity
Guilt is that buried emotion when skin is reality

Society so clear cut, in reality a non-existent slut
Those that protest the irreverent indignant and strident
The cover for their reflection in the mirror
They see it secretly and smile at the horror
