Wordless,
Effortless,
The tiger moth
Flies through this flame...

libertine with wings
sun-drenched and comatose
awaiting night flight...

Its not
So hard
For the
Tiger moth
To see
The light
In this flame
Remember that
You are golden
You are still gold...

The tiger moth
Wingless flight
Camouflage stripes
Sitting patiently
Waiting in the
Tall thick grass
Reading the braille
Stars of night
Asking the Lord
To bring back his sight...

On my walk I came across a Woolly Bear Caterpillar
It was walking across the street
I picked it up to move it off the road, hoping it would be ok
This caterpillar curls up in a ball for protection
Later it will be the Isabella Tiger Moth
I haven't seen one in a while but they are a sight to see

Gliding on the clover 
you invoke the sky.

A tiger moth lands on the?
sweet viola to seek liberation.

You die to find a rival? 
to cheat the moon.

Everynight a silver bleeds 
to write your name on the stone.

What you dream, does not 
become your neighbour.

You give a big hearty 
laugh to frighten yourself.

To stay put
without a trace of hurt,
I have come back to you.
When, halfway, the perception falls
off, like landing of a dragonfly.

Tilting moon will tell you the
secret of the scar. Those tiny
irises come alive when tears
start melting in your eyes. A 
tiger moth will ask why the pistil
was blind ?

I was waiting, crawling, among
the honeybees. To find the
dawn in the sleeping night. An
absurd dragging of
the summer, when chill was around.
