When The Last Butterfly Is Gone

Rating: 3.0


soon
by our own cruelty
and that of the wind's harshness
the last butterfly shall go
and then finally gone

and then we shall remember
each of the fluttering
beauty

in every leaf
in every vein of its leaves
in every whisper
and whimper

we shall be left with nothing
but the imagination
of wings.
