James Jefferys - Croix De Feu

Wandering pupa, take me on
Cos punishment is also bliss.
A struggle to accept when it comes
From one like this, a chrysalis

And I am you, a constant second
From just being born
Croix De Feu, newly wetted
Doesn’t yet light up a lawn

Pupa crawls and clings and clutches
And still does what it can’t.
Everything now isn’t much, it’s
All the world, it’s just this branch.

And I am you, trembling child
And at best benign
Croix De Feu, sparkles mild
Our time of time sees time

Brazen and bulging, the pupa pristine
Allows the breeze to shake it
Savouring the sultry soup of the scene,
Allows the breeze to take it…

A broken body left behind
And far beyond a violence
Rises over all of Kind
Hark at the stillness of silence

And I am you, eternal comfort
To touch those who cry
Croix De Feu, burning sumptuous
Flying high, butterfly
