A Click in the Corner

No.

It goes
in
and in
and compresses
tightly.
Do not breathe
eat
sleep
dream.
I am
informed.

What of it?

A diamond.
A pearl.
Yet to see
the reward.
In
and in
always
but
how to
get out.
Doors and windows
shut
to the cold

wrapped up cocoon-like

stifling heat
inside
suppressing
immunity
and ingenuity.

Then
you see

externally

no
new
ideas
flow
free

and

in turn
inward I turn
burn
up the coal
out the smokestack
burst forth
brightly
chrysanthemum
colors
from the
chrysalis.

Yes.

A breakthrough
is rewarding.

Fly away
from these words.

You are free.
