10.
I did not expect to find myself wrapped in this cocoon
Skin and brittle bones and flesh that weakens quickly
All wrapped too snugly, too bigger-than-me and pressed against me so I cannot see the sense of my own thoughts.
Had I had a moment to consider, I would have chosen
A puff of nitrogen.
Barely a handful, but oh, so fluid, so free
To scatter into the winds, into a thousand different unknown places,
Perhaps be breathed in by some creatures, and spend time
Flowing along the paths of their lifeblood, quietly-
i am not here
-and then be rushed back into the wild night, and fly on to some other mystery.
