Sweat streams off my skin
As my body releases
What’s no longer mine

Life will find a way
One cocoon twitches; my screaming must have disturbed it. It’s followed by a sound like the shaking of a cobra’s tail. A dry rattle sends a shiver down my spine. The rest of the cocoons respond the same way, as if communicating with one another; the cave fills with rattling. The glow becomes stronger as they vibrate and bathes the cave floor in an eerie blue light.

Whoaaaa, this was so freaking deep! Awesomeeee Haiku!
I've never really liked saunas. But the idea of sweat as releasing that which is no longer mine, I like that. A lot.
Oh yes. So good! Physical/mental sweat. Great haiku! 💫💞
