Metaphorical Wings:
Monologue in collaboration with Michelle Phillips Standish
Life’s sequential,
Psst pep talk
just because
I’m here—
Doesn’t mean
Indefinitely, right?
I definitely
get weird
about too much attention,
It embarrasses me!
I mean,
look at each pace,
every sway
as I nibble away
at my nails!
Which I
meticulously
painted earlier,
this morning!
So cost effective? No!
Processing all the space,
in this vast universe
I embrace myself in?
Is
this
just my weigh- station?
Or
Permanent state of
being?
Momentum building inside,
I understand it,
but don't fully agree
with where it’s taken me,
this very minimal
moment...
I feel as vulnerable
as a little pupa!
Wriggling around,
looking for the top of a leaf
for oxygen
just to spare a moment,
to breath!
Only,
to fall
to the ground
And be stepped on!
I allow the distance
Between
my goals
and expectations
To mentally
defeat me!
Fold into my wings
Then go into;
flits of
I’m on the verge,
Of the greatest
transformation,
Mesmeric metamorphosis metaphorically fear me!
Rhythmically
beat for beat
from my diaphragm!
I digress,
my pride,
reflects in these
pale blue irises eyes
imagine a stare
hardened as a chrysalis!
Emerging from
this warm comfort zone,
to frigid cold!
It’s time,
I just gots to-
Shed this body
like deadlifts
I allow,
the old me
to die off,
figuratively of course!
I am femininity
I am powerful
I am stunning
Move get out of my own way!
Fast forward, this cycle of
unwavering faith
Lead the way
like flying among flowers!
I’m fully convinced
I’m on the right path
Today is fleeting,
Tomorrow is promising
