metamorphosis by Peter Humphreysdescending
into in too in two
inner in her in hair
space again a gain
the violet violent in viol
learned light of healing
destroying
good and bad
indiscriminately
in discriminating
my mask
fixed
so light
so fright
so tight
I could
for torture be
panic manic
dancing
butterfly's wings
upon the portal
of my being
open brain
open skull
laying waste
so to heal
I cannot be the same for this
can I be me again for this
can he be him again despite this
descending
into inner space
again
my chrysalis
is set
for flying 04/23/2008
