I am chrysalis. Bright form geometric. Say
cremaster. Say metamorphosis. Feel, as I
do, the crack as tightness splits to unfurling.
I cling where you never think to look. This
my dun dwelling, this my makeshift, safe
and secret. Not so after, when body’s
bellows spreads me bright. Then you do see
and ready your nets.
