The Butterfly Eater
A tale lost to the eyes of an opened box
She watched the terrors frenzied frolics
there gasps of unbreathed unstagnant air
Each horror quickly surpassed
her pupils fully blown
then something stunning ripped her gaze
a multi faceted beauty
her head tilted to the sun
eyes tasting sunlights warmth
her sloping swanish nape
like mountain side unscaled
Watching this beauty she couldn't grasp
The evil she understood
their shallow shapes
and deformed moulds
portents of their will
This water coloured feint unsure
but with the parting of those perfect lip
she understood
as she swallowed
the satin winged beauty
her envy of the pure so obvious
the butterfly eater unchained
