    Chrysalis ablaze

    my limbs untangle

    a window opens

    it’s time to mangle.

    Tear first a strip

    peel away the fore

    skin deep this pain

    much more to gain.

    This next layer of hide

    tougher than boar

    will I push through?

    will I finally soar?

    I see the Cosmos,

    I see it swirling

    trapped in my own skin

    trapped deep within.

    Will this my best self

    will he at last emerge?

    or is it a dead-end

    a submarine perpetually submerged.

    Long have I waited

    for his imminent landing

    Mighty warrior-cum-scribe

    of the highest standing.
