The other end

Is anybody at the other end?

One acts
to reveal
to cut through
hiding
layers

peel
peel
peel

yet by revealing
what has been taken
away
in that act
of revealing
remains hidden.

Is any voice there to answer?
is there any answer?
is any possible?

Is there a there?

We peel layer
after layer
away

layers
keep
disappearing…
one
two
three
…
