birth

First night with lex I awoke to find myself an octopus. cruel cold currents made my limbs flail and grasp. Black fluids seeped from my cartilage beak jaw. My unblinking eye surveyed a million predators and I folded into an impossible claustrophobic crack in the freezing dark rock. I could not learn to breath fast enough and I reviled at my own presence. This was the circumstance of my birth and I mourn it every day.
