Butterflies

December 4, 2024

at first

they fluttered around,

tumbling and turning in the breeze,

each a single beautiful petal of essence.

now

they swarm,

seeing clear through me

as the sunlight endows.

soon

i will be torn apart,

stabbed, poked, picked at,

and eaten from the inside out.
