This painting was created to accompany a poem I wrote some years ago, from the viewpoint of a developing butterfly within a chrysalis. (Photo: Unsplash) TRANSFORMATION Shut away inside this silken crypt I long for undulation on the pavements wriggling up trunks and along branches munching leaf to leaf.
Those carefree sunny days have given way to terror as motionless, deaf and blind I feel Your acid-enzyme melt my heart liquefy all that is earth-bound.
So I abandon any hope of preservation as, redefined and reinvented in this dark and secret vault I’m given a new heart, antenna, legs – and wings?
Entombed–for what? It’s surely death. Could it also be a new and unimagined life?
