Metamorphosis
Sun singes
translucent wings
naively riding currents
of butterfly breezes
Pursuing clouds
flirting with drafts
she flits across
his shadow
Dark fingers
touch her passage
rubbing away the powder of flight
with darker intent
Spiraling to earth
inside the flutter of fractured color
she lies exposed
Leaving the wings
he gathers the body
steals her soul
noiselssly
imprisons it
in the hush
of a cocoon.
