The new will emerge
Despite your hanging on
The new will emerge
Already, bright green passion
Crowds and pulses around you
Your withered leather hardens
While cobwebs drape
Like whiskers on your ancient face
There is nothing for you here
Your future lies
Beyond the freefall of letting go
Within the loam of fertile earth
Trusting the darkness
Before rebirth

genesis
by Claire M. Perkins
behold!
dawn’s prism fractures the night
spills color and life
through your once dark world
reveals what’s been
too long hidden
beneath your ruffled breast
it is time, Little One
warm your nest no longer
stand aside and
reveal its gem-laden mystery
allow the shattering shell
to scatter its jewels
they are but dull paste
to the genesis that awaits
