Oh the leafroller did not
ask the tree for permission
to take the wrapping
but he provided his own
ribbon
as he wrapped himself
as present
to his future self.

biological and spiritual parents)
A leafroller: is the larva of a
moth. These larvae make a kind of cocoon formed by the rolling
of leaves which they then tie with their own spun silk
