'THE BROKEN BUTTERFLY' by Sabrina Sihra
Pinions ripped but savagely beautiful getting paler and colder, forming crystals. One touch and she will crumble into dust, ashes, bountifully crushed.
Heavens water eternally frozen; clear shards, quartz crystal, painfully crafted. Her wings covered with a laminate layer as I cry out to god with one last prayer.
Mesmerised, with the stillness of a body so alive at one time, I would sit and just stare into the orbuculum. Peering into an abyss of fortune, thinking, of how your life began – simply a cocoon.
