Chrysalis Caged
the chrysalis
caged
cocooned
inside
a bony mesh
hide, stay alive, hide
the chrysalis
stirs
pulses
current flows
a tattoo beats
remain where you are
stay quiet
remain where you are
the chrysalis
two-sided
still incomplete
only one half
of dualistic bliss
lightening strikes
only once
breathe caught
the chrysalis dies
is born anew
flutter
sprout wings
flutter
the chrysalis
has learned to fly
to soar, to love
but never
will it be free
