<h2><strong>MOTH</strong></h2>



<p>It isn’t in the wings or the flying&nbsp;<br>where freedom takes place<br>it is in the quiet cosmos of&nbsp;<br>your unbecoming.</p>



<p>In a case of silk&nbsp;<br>your essence is protected&nbsp;<br>while imaginal discs shift<br>molt into mystery, cave in.</p>



<p>May a song be an anchor&nbsp;<br>while your body falls into itself.&nbsp;<br>May you find beauty<br>in the reconstruction.</p>



<p>Do you remember&nbsp;<br>your simultaneous<br>origin and conclusion?</p>



<p>Do you remember&nbsp;<br>how once in a cocoon<br>you met yourself?</p>
