Cocoon |
Here in my cot -- where my cot loves me |
I’ll stay here a while -- in the cotton wool cocoon |
'Til the chrysalis is ripe -- 'til the time is right |
With this feeling of insecurity |
I have to shrink back inside -- run and hide |
Back in the cocoon -- hugging my knees |
Watching my insides -- the skinned glow-worm writhings |
Lying in blankets -- I’ve been here a while |
Tapping out rhythms -- against the mattress and wall |
The heat melts the sheets -- another layer is peeled |
Tapping out rhythms… |
Just my cot, the wallpaper and me |
I’ve been here awhile -- tapping out rhythms |
Still finding charms in the memory of those constrictor arms |
Glowing in the dark in my luminous green |
A pearl beaded lizard -- bathed in a gossamer scent |
With my heat detector lip-pit -- pulling at the newly formed tissue |
Lying in blankets -- I’ve been here awhile |
Tapping out rhythms… against the mattress and wall |
Waiting… to loose the bandages |
Waiting for new appendages |
Lying in blankets -- I’ve been here a while |
I’ve been here too long -- banging out rhythms |
Listen for other tappings… |
Banging out rhythms |
Back in the cocoon |
