Caterpillars.
By sheff
still.
i would
have moved across each scented petal, too
in the vast softness.
in the wild cacoon.
where I might crawl from uncertainty.
creep up each wall I could build
sleep for decades
(over
thin membranes)
then
bloom.

Who is it that is looking for hope ? If you are the world and the world is you, then please tell me who it is that dies? I wonder perhaps if it could be said that in this short sweet poem you have discovered the answer.

Though this is categorized "Short and sweet," I believe it would make for a lovely spoken word piece. Especially if said with precision and care, spoken softly in dulcet tones. A hopeful spring is in the air with this poem.

I used to be fascinated by caterpillars as a child, one day they were crawling all over me and I had a really bad allergic reaction..... Beautiful imagery and write.
