Transformation

/ Katrina Kaye

Katrina Kaye

unlike clouds and the ripples of river currents
we still resemble our former identities
long after we have transformed into something else

sometimes the shift is so slow
we don’t even realize the change until long after it occurs

nature is much more abrupt in the turning of season
the molding of weather patterns and swings of daylight
she doesn’t always have that much patience and
what she does have she saves for mountain ranges

we are somewhere between the rock and the raindrop
realizing our transformation only in retrospection

“Transformation” is previously published in Amazine (2025).

this bird

/ Katrina Kaye

Katrina Kaye

never learned to nest

allows feathers to fall
without a thought to
where they may land

I too
am often on the wing

telling stories of lives
I could never take apart

this bird breaks to pieces
part of the puzzle that
wedged creation together

this birdsong

sweet as time

reaches

never touches

where should I hide
if not into myself
