Repo!fic: Chrysalis (Blind Mag, gen)

[transemacabre]

The second in my Reverb series, with each vignette done in a different musical style (or my best approximation thereof). Following up Graverobber's Angel Chile (Blues), here's Blind Mag's "Chrysalis" (Opera). Also, be sure to follow the instructions. You'll see what I mean.


Backwards it read:

Mag lifted her eyes, looking up through lashes of feathers.

Was her Diablo
Rotti Largo

She knew
No solace

Marni Wallace
(my dearly departed)

"My eyes are open."

Shackled
Her soft wings, newly emerged from the chrysalis
Diva Mariposa, glorious in repose
She has become

Gladly these weights on her heart and soul
She has suffered
For another

I made
A promise

And for what?

Tonight
Mag will be silenced
Forever

All we know
Is this

Just this once
Read it backwards.
