The Butterfly Hunter
The butterfly hunter
The children call "The old cocoon
Asks if more
butterflies are needed
For the museum
large collection.
"No, no more are
needed"
They answer
abashed…
And since the
flowers have shut
In the museum
planters,
And since one window
remains open
He spreads four
wings
And flies out
And is now
Dissolved in the
dark…
