this is not really about butterflies

 

 

sapphire wings like falling petals

blown by an intentional wind

I watched, revelled in this thing

doing what it was meant to do

and so enjoyed it

I almost missed the point

and came terribly close to an honest mistake

 

but only close,

and it went away,

and I was grateful;

 

I do not want

a butterfly

in a box.
