Image: Agapema anon a Saturn moth Saturniidae by Arizona BicBugs
Climbing ivy draws and flowers, delight,
Agapema anon a Saturn moth.
Saturniidae family has spanned life
short, longer if bigger, three weeks--like Hoth,
blind god tricked by Loki to kill Baldr--
a mistletoe; wisdom and courage die,
so must the Agapema, its drawer,
messengers of the Afterlife, deny
us the key; wisdom and courage, again,
their family is large if e'er the chance,
a flier o'er plateaus, desert, and plain.
The landscape, south of that border; expanse.
Butterflies and life, moths and, afterlife,
naught lowlife, but pro-life; pin-up; wildlife.
