Chapter 51 - A Lost Eye

During my slumber,

I dream that I peer through my bathroom mirror.

Skin falls off my face,

And my right eye is away. 

"For one to die, they must shed,

My new skin will appear undead.

A translucent glow appears among my face,

My core has been saved."

.

Nothing is inside the tear,

Only shade exists beyond despair. 

This summer suffering has been sent away,

One where a disturbing message replays throughout my day.

'My skin meliorates as the days lose pace,

No one sees this refining delay,

And how my body must cleanse its rusty plague.'

.

My old skin tarnishes like an outlived germ,

No disinfectant can revitalize this worm,

I exfoliate my outdated ways ---- 

And see how my right eye influences the flake.

My skin peels off!

Inside, it looks like dusk. 

.

My eye's coat lives through my negative thoughts,

Ra discards the dust. 

I falsify the evil,

And warm myself against the medieval, 

One that prevents anymore diabolical plots,

My dead skin can fully rot. 

.

The sun shines through this interstice, 

Where my whimsical shell is abstinent. 

'My missing eye has gone,

What has this human done?'
