butterflies


we fell
like tiny water drops
through holes the shape of butterflies
the world writhed around us
becoming what we were
becoming what we wanted
the lights curved and twisted in our eyes
making the unseen visible
we fell
like tiny water drops
through holes the shape of butterflies
as the sky fell in
lights screamed their death
and trees writhed to an unheard music
the world looked up for a second
and shattered into
a thousand million hovering empty holes
the shape of butterflies
