La mariposa resplandeciente

I want to emerge
from the cocoon of ambiguity
into the intimacy of specificity
I want to expose my soul
- fuego y hielo -
soothe the demons inside
they bred in confined spaces yet
into the unknown they dissipate
and I
awake.
Spontaneity eliminates repetition:
I do not know
and, I know
In the midst of nothingness,
a blossoming seed
untramelled by BEFORE
a blank canvas of
limitless becomings.

Truly, truly beautiful words, Suze.

Deeply affecting. I'll be back to read them again,
