High above the charred surface of the Earth
I contemplate release from this rusted sarcophagus
faulty circuitry, anachronistic software
blights of my existence and signs of obsolescence
I'll scatter my debris
across a vast grey sea
through atmosphere
I'll disappear
I will disintegrate and nothing will remain
With fleeting hesitation I open the airlock doors
preparing to descend into gravity's embrace
I'll scatter my debris
across a vast grey sea
through atmosphere
I'll disappear
The glow of the sun is a friend bidding farewell
soon I will be acquainted with the silk blanket below
Now I'm returning home
and though this end is bittersweet
I'll take this moment to smile one last time
My exterior bares the brunt of atmospheric friction
my limbs are shredded and devoured by the flames
My optics record one last image before destruction
a never-ending ocean of smoke and fire
