rugs and souls

I wear my skin
like a kilim,
good side
outside
for all to see,
back side
inside
so I can pick
at all
the knots
in my spare time.

I don't aspire
to
fine oriental status,
let me be just a kilim;
not too much difference
between front and back.
beautiful enough,
but not too
precious
for the dog to lie on
