I used to be somebody
Then you took your love away
Now I'm nobody

The Well

A bitter well
taps the icy waters
from the sulphurous deep
slakes my thirst
makes my transformation
into the beast
complete.

Transformation

Plump, green
Eating, weaving, sleeping
Inside of the cocoon
Shedding, growing, changing
Graceful beauty

Transformed

Intention is to fact,
as water is to ice

Its truth in transformation
—the naughty and the nice

Wants America to pitch in
Every voter's fondest wish
Taste and savor final dish

waiting for transformation...

striking at one’s very heart
verdant to golden

I'm almost fifteen. Can I get a tattoo?
    Sorry. Not in our state...

  How 'bout gender-transformation surgery?
    Sure, no problem. That'd be great!

Glasswing

She flutters on silence,
a creature stitched from light and ache--
too fragile to stay,
too fierce to fall.
He never saw the cracks
until she flew through them.

singular burst of her
iridescent anger
evaporate in the patience

Ebenezeer Scrooge
Suspected subterfuge,
And his transformation seems extreme
For what was probably just a nightmarish dream!

TEARS


Tears:
A mystic transformation 
Of 
Concealed aches 
That 
Mourn in silence 
The 
Afflictions of heart
In
Diamond shapes!

Transformation

The mirror that I held and broke it into pieces,

You should have it.

Or you should hold one piece of it.

The mirror that once gave you yourself,

A blood hunter it became.
