Skin

My skin
keeps me in
stops me from
diffusing
into the world

But skin
is permeable,
letting things in
letting things out

This skin,
when you touch it
your fingers leave
marks on me

Your skin
pressed against mine.
Are we really
separate?

Factor of Ten was a collaboration between National Institute for Environment, National Institute of the Arts and ANUgreen.
