there was a strange metamorphosis
inside of me
that came about
with a little bit of kohl in my eyes
and a few dabs of dark blue nail paint
on my fingertips.
the change is so amazing
and transcendental
that i cannot imagine
how it was
i lived before
i seem to be shedding
the layers of padding
that i had wrapped myself in
as a caterpillar
sheds its cocoon
i keep finding myself
stating
and not asking
demanding and not
expecting
my no is so emphatic
my yes is so inviting
my niceness is nicer
my kindness is kinder
my heart is lighter
and my feet
are so much happier
so much do i owe
to blue nail paint
and kohl.
