Elliptical and Opening - Hatchling

Blossoming creation of chemical reaction

Equa-distant in radius from one’s

Ancestral descent in the grand circle of life

Advancing identically in the scheme of time

Until the direction of said circle is diverted

Elliptical and opening, I see behind the curtain

Violet, pulsating elegance captivating

Fluorescent capsule glistening

Encased in glass, tethered by cords

Despite valiant effort, I haven’t much time

My preservation is indefinite

I slowly reveal the whites of my eyes

Frailty detected

An inclination so completely resolute

Slowly migrating

Into my destitution

Remembering

Life, astonishing, rich with bold color

Each splash of water, every drop unique

Endless meadows of green

Specific strands of grass chosen with no two identical blades ever to be found

here

Status

Declining, convulsing frantically

Insect, akin sporadic movements

Imply my conclusion must be near

Release the neck’s tension, I lay my head back to die

Supported by my own body’s buoyancy

I float within semi-liquid glop

Inside the vacuole of foreversleep

Black, cold, pulsating

A knot in the throat and a grit of the teeth, a massive, abundant endorphin

release

Will I dream or will thought cease?

This is it, I’ve waited my entire life for this very moment

To feel nothing, to be nothing, to be removed from the ellipse

Perchance to begin again
