A parenthetical hunter fantasy turns into a refusal to be left alone with one's own skin, blade-like in the wind.

The fragment uses large handwriting and abrupt capitalization to make selfhood feel physically dangerous. Hunting is not only an imagined outward act; it folds back into exposure to the speaker's own skin.

The fragment imagines being a hunter, then declares a fear of being left with one's own skin like a blade in wind.

Its drama is entirely interior. The conditional title gives way to a present-tense claim, and the body becomes weapon and weather at once, making vulnerability feel sharp rather than soft.
