The lines from the poem that contain a simile are:
A. "The cocoon is falling apart / My feet stretch out like wings"
The phrase "like wings" is a simile because it compares the feet stretching out to wings using "like."
I am running from the shadows
And running for myself
My calves have given up
Like marshmallows under fire
I am starving for breath—
Heavy with pearls of sweat
When the breeze brushes
Against my forehead gently
Like branches caressing
The image of the full moon
I am a curled up caterpillar
The floor is my leaf
The cocoon is falling apart
My feet stretch out like wings
My muscles are made of dreams
