The Moth Poem by Christoph Praus

The Moth



Hawksmoth takes within her breast,
A scent of silver shimmer zest,
Each flutter silken passage long,
Nothing shouted, nothing wrong,
She lands atop my finger lightly,
Before she journeys into night,
And motes of moondust fleck my skin,
And she again bursts into flight.
