Deformity

A poem inspired by a butterfly I saw lying on a sidewalk.

A butterfly is a beautiful
little bundle of life
until the spell is lost:
delicate, gossamer, strained.

Broken wing, perfect symmetry undone:
one flap true, the other spoiled.
Desperate hops seek the air
that's already ghosting by.

Agony leaches out of each
futile attempt at freedom.
A mercy to kill it
like wanton school boys.

But there's hope yet,
undaunted and reborn
with each frail bid
for flight.
