Who are you?
Emerged from a cocoon more vibrant and colorful and happy
You are a beautiful stranger
I grieve
A metamorphosis too gradual to see if watching in real time
You’ve shed everything you were before
Now that you’ve bloomed
I reacquaint
Even the smell of your skin is alien
You’ve studied how to act and talk and walk in this new body
“Am I pretty?” you ask and I say “Yes”
Infinitely
You shrink yourself anyways
“How do I look more like a butterfly?” you ask
But I don’t know.
I’ve only ever been a moth.
I lose you again when I watch you fly south.
But only one of you visits me in my dreams.
