The protoplasm, gelatinous and fluid;  
appears as though it has a cerebellum.  
It should be dead, the scorching heat should do it,  
but it seems fine. That opening, a velum?

That pattern on its side, it seems embroidered.  
Rectangular, and are these really crosses?  
Our team reviewed the sites and reconnoitered,  
if it’s a pet, we cannot find its bosses.

We found one truly interesting parchment,  
An avalanche, and what looks like a budget.  
Not sure just what it meant, not my department.  
Suit safely zippered, I reach out to touch it.

A whirlwind tale, and all true to a T.  
And that’s how I became an amputee.
