Return to Me Pupa - with Lilliputian

Exhumed from cocoon
now an old beggar
with aching bones
return to me pupa

where candle burns
drying my wings
listening to lullabies
in death's pale denim

I am weighed down
carried away to a pit
fading in a whisper
like dust in the wind

lingering in twilight
a shadow of life and death
heartbeats in a trance
blinding my senses

tied to your garter  
of lace and innuendo
between dusk and dawn
now fodder for the loon  

mummified real-estate
sleepless in the dark
soon to be manure
from my fungi din  

now an old beggar
with aching bones
return to me pupa
in flora and fauna
Written by adagio
