Metamorphosis of a Female Butterfly
Unfolded gentle leaves to hide
Developed lovely bruiséd flesh
You will not feel unmolted, eyed
While forming skin is trying to mesh
They all assumed the “obvious”
Formed MYSELF away from light
Always keep the truth acinus,
My real self formed solid, but blight
My paper shell, it fit so well
I can’t stay here, I’ll suffer pain
Find my new body without shell
A new person’s all I gain
Standing still, uncurling wing
A beautiful lek, mariposas sing
