discovering lascaux

shed your skins,
their undersides
are covered with art

you have been making
in the dark,
your own lascaux

how deep
will you dare to go ¿

i am emerging into wholeness
through shards of brokenness

i seem to long to watch me
nearly-not-survive —

i dodge life-ending fragments of my past
in bullet time

i am the actor,
i trained the actor,
i am the finished scene

i am behind the camera, watching me
not-knowing what the end will be

tell me where new days begin ¿
in facing up, in facing in,

in shedding sanctity and sin
like outworn layers of skin

whenever i am somewhen else
a wandering i, a wanting why
replaying movies looking for a clue

there is no me
to be the key
that opens i to you
