Trained Eye

Illustration by Cora Fisher

 

Written by Francesca Bilotti, guest writer

I’m shivering and shaking 

I feel like I’ll vomit 

I have words written 

On the walls of my skull

But I haven’t quite learned them yet 

And I can’t say 

A word of what I don’t know

I can’t do a thing that I won’t show 

So I’ll cover up all that resides in me 

And leave nothing 

For the trained eye 

To see
