Moth

don't confuse me for butterfly
i have a hunger for heat
delicious meat of fire
dancing thru fingers & teeth
curled behind eyes blinded
by such proximity
don't worry don't stop me 
from where you stand you see
suicide kamikaze naive
fluttering fly by i crave
don't save me from my
burning treasure
