Description the girl

leans against a hickory tree, waiting for luna moths with their eyespots like embroidery. her brain is wallowing in leaf-litter and her fluttering fingersβ€” makeshift wingsβ€” are ligaments and bone, not tissue-light not tissue-soft. she feels inadequate.

eclosion is her favorite verb; she looks down at her ill-fitting skin and thinks of moulting and shed cocoons as synonyms of comfort.

i'm lost in the serenity of this piece.
this screams fantasy. it begs to me pondered, to be analyzed and analyzed again; as if it's endless.
beautiful.
bravo
thank you.
