Metamorphosis Poem by Ivana Valasik

Ivana - you have a way of expressing startling insights about the nature of relationships: I learn from your poems about my own emotional being.// The final stanza is a clever, witty resolution of the conundrum of identity: that is, How much should we allow another person to change before we shout, Whoa! That's ME you're tearing apart and remaking. Instead you found a way to incorporate the changes he is making into YOUR PROCESS OF SELF-CHANGE. The conundrum is resolved, the problem solved. Now the two of you can get back to the positive work of MULTIPLYING your emotions and thereby living larger lives. EXCELSIOR!
