Born of this capeta, I cannot go on
I will not allow it to live within me
To let it spread and mutate into something unspeakable
Chemicals remain in the body forever
I feel every barb
Keeled over
Lens glistening
Every thorn becomes a precious gemstone
A seed for the future
In the rapids of grief I am torn apart
My remains cascade down and scatter
Flowing through creeks and rivers
Until they are swallowed up by the ocean
