## Reflections

I see myself, the man of flesh  
I see the capsuleer

I see my hands  
I see drone-like metal extensions

I feel my skin  
I feel the coldness of a metal shell

I feel the chill air in my lungs  
I feel the burning feeling of decompression

I see the darkness, my eyes closed  
I see the flaring light of explosions

I see crystal-clean water  
I see the blood of the people I killed forever

I see myself  
I see the capsuleer

I see the murderer

I see the immortal

I see the mortal inside

I see me

_Just a dream or something more? I don’t know._

_I’d like to submit this for the YC 119 New Eden Capsuleer Writing Contest for the Poetry category. Thank you._

A dry piece with good imagery in few words, though I wished you had kept the cadence of see and feel you establish in the beginning.
