Blood of Me
I looked at a drop of my blood under a microscope
It was a mistake. I should have not looked;
I should never have looked so close at myself.
I was not red but gray, and I was but globs of gray
and I- the bland globs had corners, imperfections
and the imperfections had imperfections
and I was not whole,
these globs, of me, were held apart from each other
I could see nothing between them--
I was as tiny moons –
lost in a vast cosmos--
cold and empty.
