52.

what was I wearing
on my face, that made you
tell me I would be
all right

was it a mask
that had fallen
could you see it
on the floor

did I leave
myself in the open
did you catch
a glimpse of me

how did I look
with the lights on, and
did you feel
uncomfortable

well it was not my intention
to show me off
so I apologize for
my nakedness

my muscles must have grown
tired of holding
my weight, and dropped
the curtain

but don’t worry
it is up again
