and withdraws itself
into a cocoon.
Then it broods.
Each step guides
Every action or
inaction towards a
becoming.
Each bite coding a color.
Each utterance
defining a flap.
The intent is decided,
noise is removed,
action is streamlined.
and when it's time-
The wings are
fluttered and boom-
the first flight.
The butterfly must
become a butterfly.
Not by chance.
No by miracle.
But by outgrowing
a noun it is to
Become an attribute.
The butterflyness
of it from every breath
till a culmination-
The flight wasn't in
The wings.
It was in the intent.
