Akin

I imagined a human evolving into something else, still closely akin to human, but different enough to warrant its own name.

In the dark of night

I shed my shriveled skin

Born again, from human

To akin

 

More human, indeed

than i’ve ever been

My god, this is genius. Truly food for thought. This will linger on my mind for a long while. I especially appreciate the rhyming with "akin" and "been". Argh! This is too good to be free.
