The Losing and Finding of Form
Category: Eve Moore Written by Eve Moore Views: 2048

- A Musing on Ascension -
Firstly, a caterpillar must gorge
its many-legged self, splitting its skin
many times to grow and grow before it is prompted
to raise its swollen length to a chosen branch, stem,
stalk, and spin itself into an unprecedentedly
marvelous time machine
we call a chrysalis
or cocoon.
Perhaps, like it, we are in
the moment, at large,
of deep gorging and
swelling, splitting,
growing, growing.
For many, the inclination
to raise ourselves to the impulse
(in physics, a force acting—in a moment—
on a body to produce a change of momentum)
to cocoon within, to hew to the deep
beckon of our awakened, activated
imaginal cells, is well underway.
I’m imagining their blooming,
as I speak, these cells, like flowers
in a vast and punishing desert.
Like crystals bloom,
like new moon stars,
like clouds into
nourishing,
slaking
rains.
Like a big idea arises
from the tiniest seed, whiff,
peripheral, the most
confounding
dilemma.
Perhaps the
dis-ambulating gorge
is a necessary, even unwelcome
step on the way to borne air,
however unknowingly
this innate course
is understood.
Cells that just appear
when the time is right,
when the host is sated,
when the one who has
crawled can crawl no
more, surrounded by
green dreams of
painted solar-
powered
wings.
Life,
cycling
her thermals,
spiraling,
spiraling
up.
This dissolution,
this unmaking to
remake, is not a
breakdown, but
a breakthrough
—breathtaking
in its giant
leap.
Taking
to air...
like hope
takes to a
glimmer of
nothing
more
than
itself.
It is a ponder.
