Writing skin

Description

Our skin —
all over us, inside us;
multiple, divisible, same same but different; 
different in parts within, and all over, the same self; a multiplicity.

And where, it is our scars — that write themselves onto us, the keloids that hold us, claw us (khele) together — which give us form (eidos).

Without which, there is no possibility of even knowing (eidenai),
catching a glimpse of,
our very self.

The skin upon which I write,
upon which I writhe. Which writhes on me as I write.
As I am writing skin.
