"Birth of Butterfly in a fridge" - by Tisha

7th March 1993

"Shut in"

Cocooned in a silken sheath of protection

Acclimatized to darkness and constant cold

A metaphysical study of ultimate reality.

Abandoned to fate and despair;

Relinquished freedom, 

Suspended pain;

Aborted metamorphosis,

Misshapen wings
never to fly, on Sprng's mellow air, 

abstaining from sweet scented acacia,

buttercups and daffodils, ablaze with yellow
under a clear, blue sky,

Tragic misshapen creature

born in damp, cold darkness

Never, ever to fly!
