Caterpillars unknowing of their butterfly future
only with issues of sickness and I need to go to bed
do they build their chrysalis
and only hope on return to feel better
until the metamorphosis happens.
do they remember their life as a caterpillar
stuck to the limb of the tree
perished on the ground
dying on the sidewalk
is that why their wings flutter so vibrantly?
the caterpillar wanted to fly.
