I press my feet into the bare, cool earth and through the layers of soil I sense rather than feel a change happening beneath me
Pulsing, vibrating, becoming
Rising, pushing, bursting
a movement becomes a hum becomes a melody becomes a song of metamorphosis
The Cicadas dance, surrounding me and I spin around and around with them, laughing together in the incredible weightlessness this possibility
Later, when I woke I whispered into a jar all the things that I had been and I sealed it up tight to carry with me
lest I forget in my waking hours
