• [558] the caterpillar will (won’t) become a butterfly

  

  My mistakes, puddlesreflect with restless worriesI bend to touch themfeeling unborn tomorrowsof all that I wasn’t today Wrote a tanka today to get into the rhythm of saying more with less. It’s a japanese short form poetry system with 5-7-5-7-7 syllable scheme. Give it a try! Art by Friedrich Hechelmann
