Strict Lags
August 8, 2025

in the soup
between caterpillar
and butterfly
I am consolidated
in the moment

of never having been
of never going to

some wet glorious now
flavorful and silent
claims wings will come
in beautied colors
traveling home

of pre-programmed
of destination

but I am now
in how I desire
wingless, legless
in soup reprieve
faulted
