metamorphosis:
chew me up, spit me out
break me into bits
shred me into scraps
do whatever it takes
to make me fall apart.
i'll rise from ashes
i'll glue myself together
piece by tiny piece
every little microbe
every drop of blood.
like kintsugi art
there is beauty
where the cracks are
there is gold in my veins
there is stitchwork in my cells
there is inferno in my heart.
metamorphosis:
break me down, build me up
transform, rebirth, rearrange me
make me resilient
make me relentless
make me right
make me new

break me down, build me up
transform, rebirth, rearrange me
make me resilient
make me relentless
make me right
make me new
