Exposed

42 4 4
                                    

Naked, stark on the side walk

Darkness I used to hide in, though my face was always in the light

Exposed, seen through and discovered

Somewhere out of sight and undercover I did play

Stripped until my supple marrow is taken from the bone

Something saw right through me, once no body knew me

In their eyes I was in their likeness

Now they’re not all so sightless

There’s nothing to shade my skin from the light

of their burning eyes  so bright

This is very much a symbolic poem, as opposed to literal. Bear that in mind.
