CHRYSALIS- ENGLISH

she covers herself 

with the blackness of the night,

transforming her

broken soul, 

and the flesh of her body,

into a transparent chrysalis, 

wishing the sharpness of the pain 

will not  find her

she hides 

in  alleys of silence

while the freezing rain

falls hurting her shoulders, 

and they cry in unison 

with the earth,

and the heavens.

Looming in the mist

one can see the wrinkles of her hands

covering her face,

and  her skin crusted with

broken miracles.

The cries of the wombs

melt

with the cracks of her feet.

The compass of dawn,

dilute the echoes

of children's laughter

dancing in a solstice night

while  
the blanket of uncertainty

shelters her bones.
