The Human Condition

Schiele, Egon. The Portrait of a Woman. 1910, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 

Reality
Is the bluish veins beneath my skin.

Anxiety
Are the lined codes on my palm:
“Here is your line of life,
Do you see it running to the left,
Interlocking with your line of fortune?”

Lost love
Is the moon-shaped wound on my left thigh,
Half-peeled and half-healed.
