Change is inevitable. - Michelle Liew

************************************************************

Enclosed

A chrysalis

Case formed from memories

Protects from wind, the sky, the sun--

Lies still.

A crack--

Silk unravels

Light shines on her faint ribs

Though unsteady, her wings emerge--

Rises.
