Poem Card Series – “Cicada”

Cicada Poem Card

Cicada

What cannot grow,
whatever restricts—
peel it off.

Even skin must split,
crack open, give way,
when you must force
a way out. Even if it slices,
even if this leaves you raw
and wet.

Look back. How little it was,
your confinement.
How fragile. How empty.
How nothing, now,
without you.
