Goldwing Moth Poem by Carl Sandburg

Goldwing Moth

Rating: 5.0


A goldwing moth is between the scissors and the ink bottle
on the desk.

Last night it flew hundreds of circles around a glass bulb
and a flame wire.

The wings are a soft gold; it is the gold of illuminated
initials in manuscripts of the medieval monks.
