Leaf Falls In Love

gorgeous iridescent rainbow butterfly
barely pricks the shiny mulberry leaf
prancing with tiny pony like taps

leaf barely feels her, and yet is honored
to commit to her choreographed challenge
giving her a glimpse of his heartbeat and his love

I saw a photo of a glass butterfly on a leaf and here it was! Pow.
