~ Lepidopteran ~


Ripping, tearing, pushing,
I emerge into re~birth,
brand new and fragile
with wings wet and weighted.

I pause.
::
Breathless.

I wait.

Wings unfurl; drying.

A stretch, a slow, dancing flap.

Faster, 
then faster, 
and faster still
::
Until
Gently. 
Gently.
::
Jewelled wings
::
Take flight
