Squid Ink


Cephalopod
I slink into cracks
Far beneath the surface
Frightened spurts of squid ink
Reveal more about me than I like
But unlike the spiral nautilus
I have removed my shell
To lie quivering
Exposed

Never before have my
Inky words reached
So far and so many
But the message
Remains the same

Fear
