How To Be A Butterfly


How To Be a Butterfly

Light caught in the
Shallow web of my wings,
Has now taken the color
Of beautiful things.

I sit eager
On a flower's silent lip,
And sink blind
Into each little drowning sip.

If desire is just an endless sin,
Then I say, so be it;
But I shall now seek and love
Every consuming bit.

I show my bold face thus
In the starkness of noon.
For I have known the dark hours
Of a stifling cocoon.
