Ruby

The secret luminous cluster shuffles
Soundlessly swimming,

This quickening sensed not felt
Layer on layer, cell by cell

Ruby strands unravelling the secret code
Assembling covertly, in the dark red centre

Your transformation continues
Unfurling amphibian changeling

Never unsolicited, by invitation only
You never slip quietly in, preferring instead
A grand entrance.
