the human being, a
phenomenon of change
...divergent
the pursuit of self
...knowledge
reaching for the light
clinging to shadows
dichotomous...chrysalis
becoming is an act of discernment
inquisitive spirits, soft as worms
draw the silk curtain, cocooned
...in the night, rebirth
wet wings drying in the rocky field
a feast of flowers for glauco-psyche
moss rose and purslane
blue on gray stones, blue
as lapis lazuli, blue
as Mary's eyes
...sapient, homo sapiens
dark light, hot as cobalt
...changing and emergent
