Like a larval stage of Mothra
rising from a cocoon of ice,
of glass,
pupae bursting open
a being about to take flight
Shape transcendent
seen on the big screen
replicated in winter
on our driveway

Rising from a cocoon
#Mothra vs. #Godzilla

Two sets of images:

someone put on my image, the following comment:
“Looks like feathers coming out of the
ice.”
I responded:
“in the simplest, literal sense, it is a
macro photograph of down of the feathers
of some unknown bird caught in a small
bit of ice on our driveway maybe about
an inch and a half long; but to me, o my
eye, it is reminiscent or evocative of
other imagery, such as a cicada pupa or
a larval stage of some moth or other
insect about to burst out of a clear
cocoon, partially exposed because of the
feathers being like the wings of a moth,
or maybe some sort of fossilized
creature with a spine in the middle of
the image right.”
