Butterfly



You


flung open 


wing-like


curtains


found mountains 


filling the morning


and all the grubs feeling


obliged to climb


through the unforgiving world


you are


hammered into shape 


withstanding 


love 


the essence must be 


swept up with inconstant winds 


settling 


ghostlike on petals


yet roaming and away


many-faceted eyes 


made to share  


this once and for all
