Metamorphosis

Down at the other end of her life she was a wonderful mother and wife cooking and sewing and loving the guy, who saved her from sorrow and gave her the sky. then dark radiation came in through the phone, unknowing one night ,it had found her alone, transforming her wholely in body and mind leaving the housewife and mother behind. she rolled up her children in packets of two and set off on Sunday to see Timbuktu. she left him a note on the fridge and the door, saying I love you but not like before I'm green and I'm purple and all over red, if I stay here forever I'll surely be dead, the night train is waiting,I'm braiding my hair, I'll be come a native before I get there. there's something exotic alive in my blood, rolling and flowing a bright mental flood he stood at the window,he stood at the door, he tried to imagine her face as before he knew when he found her she wasn't his own, he tried to surround her and keep her alone, but the wings on her back kept evolving each night, just a matter of time till he knew she'd take flight, still ,all the children were half him as well, flying somewhere between heaven and hell.
