wings slash and tear
rip away at solid air
never expected letter
should have known better
butterfly or moth?
are you emo or goth?
jump grasshopper please
i am your imanuensis

i lose track of your changes
chrysalis unbound beyond danger
ariel, i set you free
so you are flown from me?

tell me of worlds you have seen, i’ll pretend to be green
heights scaled? depths plummeted?
you skinned your knees? shit happens, please!
grazed your heart? what can i impart?

my foot my tutor? what could be cuter?
censure your thoughtlessness, is to condemn my selfishness
the origin of symmetry? the misery of mystery?
go sail, icarus to the sun, plummet back to earth undone

on wings of melted wax, fall back into my lap
i will still be here, insane, put you back together again
