Hard to encompass a soul
ascending from their old skin
Letting it fall away
It couldn’t stay
That version of me
Is obsolete
Sloughing off at my feet
Emerging from the cocoon
Glistening in the light
A Gift from the moon
Stepping away from the grisly sight
Stumbling in this unfamiliar form
Missing pieces
From Before
Those pieces no longer serving me
Decades in...
