Still

I am becoming…

It has begun.

I feel the presence of it lurking…

Each day it’s volume grows.

I am evolving as they say…

And changing ever slowly.

Deep beneath my flagging skin…

Where muscle used to rule.

And further in my soul it seems…

And all that I comprise.

Bit by bit the shadow hides…

More of my normal traits.

Till all that’s left are clues…

Indications and allusions.

Leftovers, bits and pieces, relics…

Of me before the change.

It has begun…

Visibility has weakened.

I am still buzzing on the inside…

Yet outward live unseen.
