…as no chance wandering around wooden shelves,
crawling on dusty tomes instead of hiking up a tree…
but the hagraven doesn’t read, so she’s basically
an idiot, not knowing a chrysalis can form anywhere,
even on the side of a house, so long as they feel safe…
if you only give it a chance, give it life, give it time, let it crawl
wherever it wants to crawl — for the caterpillar needs
only to feel secure from predators and sheltered
from the wind and rain
to do its thing, to pupate
