While Working Towards A Chrysalis

I though I had
emerged broken, tried
to mark time by
watching a bruise
soaking through my
palm spread wristward
like a watercolor
impaled

pain enveloping,
doorknobs holding
back my passage
in contempt, laughing

then the poem sends:
Dear Canary In
Mineshaft.
Stop. Breathe
Deeper. Stop.
