Metamorphosis Pt. 1
Limp and beautiful
she hung
foetal, knee to chin
shimmering in sun

reflected in morning dew

deformed wings
hints of blue

ripped too early
layers of silk torn in two
in which she blossomed

From crawling on awkward knees
Wind whistled softly
Lifting paper thin wings
Made of steel.
