I See You

to the bigot behind veiled words

I see you

with your clandestine claptrappery

working your hatred like finery
woven words to misdirect
a fine thread

behind the curtains

behind smart words

behind semantic bullshit
tugging at my skin
like stitches coming undone
you think it's a small pull
but I feel it burning

I see you
I see you

I see you

I know you for what you are
