Metamorphosis
So, I lost 3 years of web content yesterday when switching host companies. I have no idea what happened. After all, I’ve done this before.
Now that I’ve had my mini-meltdown and a new day has dawned, I’ve decided to view this as an opportunity to start afresh and not expend anymore energy on trying to retrieve the past.

Metamorphosis
I have star-studded lashes
this morning
°
A purple moon sleeps inside
Horizons beckon
Tall and wide
Shadows lick, like flames
°
The carcass of my old self
Rots alongside me
°
I can smell it
Want to save it from corvids
But they deserve to feast
And I must sustain
Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
The inevitability of it. Love it!

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the link from the emails I receive from your posting will not link up to your page…this has happened before. I had to go directly to your site…maybe take a look into that and see if it’s on your end…have a nice holiday by the way! xo
