What if
We could capture our souls,
Our thoughts,
Our very being
In a jar?

Some people would be swollen,
Overflowing,
The pressure making cracks in the glass

Some people would be pale, swirling,
A blizzard dying out,
Leaving ashes in its wake

Some people would be magic,
Spinning and dancing,
Alight and softly glowing with childish awe

I don't know what I would be
But I don't think
I'd keep myself on a shelf

I think I belong somewhere else--
Flying with fish,
Dancing with the wind,
Sighing in the sunlight

Perhaps I would even be
Encased within ink
