What's Left


This cocoon of fat

I spun for many years

is finally breaking away.

The layers crafted from

food and sloth

are melting like Spring.

What’s left inside

is anyone’s guess.

No one remembers

the caterpillar that first

began weaving this shroud.

The cocoon has been me

for so long

it seems like forever.

I can only hope

there’s something left

when the cocoon is gone.
