The Caterpillar

For countless days and endless nights

I’ve crawled through the leaves,

eaten holes in them all-

tasted the bitterness of herbs

and the sweetness of flowers.

Whatever life fed me

I’ve chewed it all thoroughly,

and let it ferment in my belly.

I’ve labored hard,

and spun my new home-

Now leave me alone!

It’s hard work being this still

and this solitary;

and God only knows,

If and when

I should decide to come out,

whether I’ll be an ugly moth

or a magnificent butterfly.

I don’t really care either way,

as long as my wings

can tread over air

and lift me high above

this earthly prison.
