Reincarnated

in subterranean sea
blacker than light seal
stars have burnt their way
through the night
leaving an ink so thick
skeined vessels shrink to blink
lids lie dormant
unable to stretch limbs
singularly pliant; snaking
a psychedelic path to pain
spinal yellow bleeds into blue
amnesia is truly a blessing
in this eternity
evaporating depth;
my horizontal ability
straining memory
as bubbled lungs
disintegrate
cells regroup
squirming for air
as one last gasp
completes me.
