I want to be wrapped in your skin
the way dew covers the morning.
It is sunrise and we are radiant.

I want to be wrapped in your skin
the way paper protects glass in a move.
I am a fragile thing;
keep me from breaking
as we move together.

I want to be wrapped in your skin
the way a blanket keeps bodies warm.
It is so cold, come closer.

I want to be wrapped in your skin
the way a caterpillar longs
for the cocoons embrace.
Make room for me, there
deep in the core of you.
Embrace me as I am now
but watch me emerge
as something greater

A pretty winged thing
and all because of you

Ready to fly away
