Now is all we have.
Save it in a photograph
or engage the gods?

(a children’s poem)
.
Butterfly lands upon a mirror,
sees himself from front to rear,
hairy body, skinny legs,
“It seems I’m made of pegs and bags –
we butterflies are ugly things!”
Alas, he cannot see his wings,
how elegant he is from here
where we see him above the mirror –
so with his beauty still unknown
the monarch flies back to his throne.
