sitting still

You’re
Struggling against the silk threads, still
Struggling though you wish you’d let it
Be your cocoon, for a little while, just
Let it tie you up and fly you up with dragon kites
And clarify

The strings that you attach to him
They’ve tied you up, it seems, still
Have spun your mind completely, still
You won’t find the answers, child, in these tangles, that
Or the child you were and don’t remember when
You’ll struggle ’til
At once you’re sitting still

And maybe soon you’ll butterfly…
Stay still and let it tie you up.
