This costume is what
they know you by,
this disguise
in which you’ve been upholstered.
Under the skin
the springs are bending
into a pose of comfort
but the stuffing goes rotten
whatever you do. This shroud
keeps the air out
but does not stop the voices
calling your secret name
asking where you’ve gone
as you in your hiding place
gaze from two rigid holes.
