the snake skin

I find an old snake
skin

in the basement.
a serpent has crawled in,

shed one of her other selves.

and vanished into thin air,
finding
the smallest of cracks

in the house
to get out.

what else did she leave
behind?

a tube of lipstick,
and a mirror,

the echo of lies,
is all I can find.
