Becoming

butterfly juice
pulsing the worm of me
out;
frog serum
battling tadpole genes
aching to slip into
long-legged
leapers

no more short pants
no more
wingless flight
caught up in a cocoon
of my own making
life
living it

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Good that we have little butterfly icons, no?
But if we really could fly, would we ever come back down?
