I teach a caterpillar
How to conceal its markings
On a grapevine that grasps
The trellis, trimming

Chewed leaves. Bigger
Bite marks upon bite marks.

A rotten apple-core chrysalis
Is hanging on a vine.

All it ever does is change.

I taught the grapevine
Where to grasp the trellis.

And all it ever does is want.
