Kelly Vinal - Cocoon

Close me
Lump me in cocoon
When I don’t want to engage
The outside world today.
Let me out to breathe
Sometimes -
This air is acrid and stinks
Of progress.
Draw me in with a
Thick black brush
So I can juxtapose
Unspoken inhibitions of
Love and of lust.
Capture me
Close me in cocoon
That I might metamorphose,
That I might transform
And transpose
The outside world today.
