capture the moths in
your butterfly net and say
"you're beautiful, too."

capturing all the moths in your butterfly net
or so they say
but there is nothing wrong with being a moth
unafraid of living a life inside-out
unlike the people who jeer at you from the other side of the cage
you are not ready to find out if it’s you that is trapped
maybe we all step into the lava that the kids try to avoid
as they jump onto the couch
are you an adult now?

Me: You know what I like most about you?
Him: That I can down six tacos in one sitting?

you're real
spill out your secrets like poured concrete
i know everything about you
and i'm never letting go.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

But I will be under your wing in four days.
