poetry

[Christy Lee-Engel]

Butterflies and Open Space, Any Form

our original thought wanders into chaos,
and dissolves 
into a liquid body suspended weightless 
at the wild and quivering edge, 
ripening with the passion fruit of silence: yes *and* no

we re-mind
we re-member
the pattern of Our Body re-forms, and
the radiant chrysalis Opens 
at just 
the right 

time

this is living in truth, and beauty,
in conflict, confusion, and love
these wings whisper into unexpected being 
the fierce light-net that cradles the grief

this is the World to Come:
now
here
this


Love,
Christy
Seattle (finally cooler!)
