Angel Wings and Butterfly Things
Kiss me goodbye like a tremble
plucked from the hands of a nervous child

sunlight angels making magic
of nothing and something.

and sits down to wallow in serendipity.
get out or stay.
nothing but spider-silk

swallow those butterfly wings
and kiss my compliance
what is your necessity
sweet angel of whatever
comes my way
and shrink away from It.
that dreadful it.
you do not deserve.
