papillon

a glass magnifies

small lapdog
butterfly
landing perfectly
on a flat nose

the glass pushes detail
into a wide eye

the picture is a thumbnail

maximum enlargement
knocks over it digital frame

the butterfly
is mottled yellow and brown
a stand-out contrast to
the black nose

a background
is a female hand in mid-flight

we are all caught
