The bread and butterflies 
wake to taste your morning dew,
though innocent they seem 
their intentions will not do,
each grabs a curly lock 
and pulls you to their side,
laughs so small only flowers fathom 
into the mud you slide,
not a tear escapes your eye
no, not a single one,
you sit and wait patiently
they no not what they've done,
a moon struck black book
rises from the goopy mud,
and all the bread and butterflies
they all turned into blood...
