It needs to be precise
a delicate claw to remove
the tiny splinters
pale under the skin
the outline like a shadow
from a lit window
It is going to be painful
as it aims at the pores
The grip must be strong
the movement must be swift
and the memory of the wound
can be forgotten
II.
She shapes them
with anger and spite
the growths between her eyes
She tells them who's boss
kills them like spiders
who eat all the flies
and balance the food chain
She will not apologize
for disguising her birth face
She pulls them out
one at a time
keeps the unruly ones
under control
