metamorphosis










with ease 

i slip beneath the bell jar 

trapped & separate from the tangible 

content in the capture 

to rest 

so tightly held 

so highly removed from the churning of the ordinary 

this wrapped nucleus of jade silken despair 

rest comes as chrysalis 

removed to this dome of glass 

to await the mandarin & black of flight

and

the sweetness of milkweed
