a butterfly
on a grapevine
waiting for sunlight

in blue dresses
twins make paper machet
masks of each other

a gentle touch
softest summer
in a sunlit glade

an endless blue sky
cloudless, and hopeless
over the county jail

orange dances
between proud lilies
sunshine rules the monarch

butterfly on my thigh
we both wait
for something to change

all the butterflies
orange
except one

a fox passes
the glade
in summer heat

a cold starry night
a whole dream
only half a moon

zebra strips
camouflage
the lions see nothing
