Butterfly to a Snake



Our ephemeral encounter
Emphasized the burdened appendages
Painted an array of mournful poison.
If only I didn’t fly,

Emphasized the burdened appendages
A facile svelte being with no burdens speaks,
If only I didn’t fly.
How can a crestfallen fauna be blessed with esoteric flutters and not I?

A facile svelte being with no burdens speaks
Inveigles harmonious wings into maundering to a chrysanthemum.
How can a crestfallen fauna be blessed with esoteric flutters and not I?
Forcefully a proxy, godsend, remnant of a surmised hindrance.

Inveigles harmonious wings into maundering to a chrysanthemum.
Painted an array of mournful poison.
Forcefully a proxy, godsend, remnant of a surmised hindrance.
Our ephemeral encounter.
