The womb

there’s a place I like to sleep with curtains drawn tight glowing in the magenta light covers tucked under my chin, the mattress cushioning my side.

some say the way we sleep mimics the womb.

similarly, when going through change i get antisocial, shutting out most talking to a select few while I burrow, and make a nest.

i’ve been changing taking information and processing it ready to work through the events that make me, me.

the big topics are the hardest to start writing about and have the most impact. I’m working to express myself instead of withdraw.

but even butterflies go through a period of change before they come out on the other side.
